About This Program
Over the past decade, there has been a growing interest in applying mindfulness-based approaches in education to reduce stress and promote well-being. Research is beginning to confirm the efficacy of these approaches.
The UVA School of Education and Human Development is the first major school of education to offer a series of courses in social and emotional learning in education informed by cutting-edge science. These courses are intended to prepare professionals to apply mindfulness to their work with adults and children in school settings and other occupational settings that involve helping others.
Social and Emotional Learning courses are available to undergraduate, graduate, and non-degree students. In addition to electing these courses, graduate students earning the M.Ed., Ed.S., or Ed.D. in Curriculum & Instruction can choose Social and Emotional Learning as an area of emphasis.
