Can 5 minutes of mindfulness a day really transform your classroom? 🧘‍♀️

🎙️ In this week's episode, I chat with Kailey Lefko, co-founder of EduCalme.com, about using mindfulness and emotional regulation strategies to create calm, focused classrooms.

This wonderful discussion is full of science-based strategies proven to empower students to manage their emotions and behaviors and also on how to ground yourself as their teacher.

My favorite part? ⬇️

🔑 Kailey explains the science behind co-regulation - how our emotions and energy impact others around us. When teachers show up to class stressed or anxious, students pick up on those cues, leading to a stressed classroom environment. Like I always say,  "Your energy teaches more than your lesson plans."

🎧 Listen to this inspiring discussion about the power of mindfulness in education
and learn all about Educalme's plug-and-play program that gives you the tools you need without the need for any additional planning or training.
