Counselors and Teachers Say…
“These days, everyone is buzzing about the need to integrate mindfulness and social and emotional learning into schools. Well, here is a program that has been doing it successfully for almost 20 years. I am astounded by this beautiful curriculum. Linda and her colleagues have created a brilliantly practical guide for teachers, one that understands kids – both how they think, and their imaginative capacities. …This is a model for the classroom of the future.” –Jeff Warren, Mindfulness Teacher and co-author with Dan Harris of Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics.
“I started using the curriculum and it’s wonderful! The lessons are easy to follow and very well thought out. The curriculum fits well with the Mindful Schools training that I did a few years ago. I’m very pleased with my purchase.” Kree Barus, Elementary School Teacher
“You have done such an outstanding job and this is such a comprehensive curriculum. I am implementing your program …and strongly encouraging my colleagues in our district to do so also. ” Cathy Stainbrook, School Counselor
