We are excited to announce that the International Curriculum Specialist Series returns with a special focus on Health and Wellbeing available in both video and podcast formats this week.
Season two of the series kicks off with an informative interview with two experts at MindUP, an evidence-based social-emotional learning program grounded in neuroscience and founded in 2003 by actress Goldie Hawn along with a team of neuroscientists, educators and psychologists.
With episodes being released every month, the future episodes of the International Curriculum Specialist Series will focus on several areas of Health and Wellbeing including peers, identity, digital literacy, and metacognition in the teenage years.
