Event Invitation — Thrive Thursdays: Start with the Heart

Educators, please join us for the newest edition of our "Thrive Thursdays" webinar series. Each 30-minute session, divided by grade band and offered at two convenient times, will dive into Start with the Heart, a free curriculum that supports learner well-being.

Through Start with the Heart, learners explore:

the body’s stress response
the role of the brain & nervous system
neuroplasticity
brain anatomy
self-regulation
developing a growth mindset to support resiliency
reflecting on habits
how their own well-being exists in relationship with the well-being of their communities

We'll share how each lesson can be delivered in about 30 minutes or broken up and woven into the course of a school-day to help learners reset and improve focus.

After the 30-minute webinar, we will provide time for Q&A. Webinars are offered at both 12:15 PM PT / 3:15 PM ET and 3:15 PM PT / 6:15 PM ET. Dates and grade levels are as follows:

9/21 - High School Educators

9/28 - Middle School Educators

10/5 - Elementary Educators (3-5)

10/12 - Early Childhood Educators (PreK-2)
