Leave a reply

Thanks to Sharon Midgley, a Hillcrest Middle School teacher and UBC Middle Years SA, for presenting today’s workshop on the Hawn Foundation’s MindUP program. Shep and I hope that the principles of the MindUP program will help you create positive learning environments during your practicum… and beyond!

Here’s a YouTube clip of Dr. Dan Siegel speaking.  I’m pretty sure it’s a compilation of the clips we were shown during the workshop:

Here’s a TED talk done by Dr. Siegel.  In this talk:

“Dr. Daniel Siegel explores the neural mechanisms beneath social and emotional intelligence and how these can be cultivated through reflective practices that focus on the inner nature of the mind.”

    The classroom management ideas of Diane Gossen were front and center for the final part of the lesson.  Here’s the PPT slideshow that Shep used:
