Program Description:
Educators from the Wellness and Resilience Program in the South Burlington School District offer updates on this nationally recognized work at a Community Evening. The mission of the South Burlington School District’s Wellness and Resilience Program is to promote wellness among K-12 students, staff, and families. “A growing body of research is telling educators that when students can manage their emotions effectively and become resilient to the obstacles in their path, they arrive at an optimal zone for learning,” noted South Burlington educator Kathy Buley. “Through a number of simple breathing and relaxation exercises, educators have learned the necessary techniques to model in their own lives and bring to students. ”As the Wellness and Resilience Program grows,” continued Ms. Buley, “it is important for families to continue to be partners in our efforts. Toward that goal, we welcome the opportunity to explain the objectives of the program, discuss the brain research that drives our efforts, share simple exercises, and have some fun as a community of learners.”
