Educators’ Emotional
Well-Being Course

Professional learning short course equipping educators to
manage stress and anxiety to foster behavioral change and
achieve academic excellence.

To help educators manage personal stress and improve their overall emotional well-being.

Supporting Educators’ Emotional Well-Being

Our online professional learning course “Educators’ Emotional Well-Being” helps individual educators manage personal stress and improve overall mental health & well-being.

Why It Matters

Children develop through relationships with key adults. As a role model and key socializer, you need the tools to manage your own emotions to model emotional regulation for children and support their emotional, cognitive, and social development.

The Impact

Teaching can be stressful. When educators can better regulate their own emotions, they’re more effective in supporting children’s emotional needs and teaching daily lessons.

The result: Less stressed teachers and calmer children who are ready to learn and better perform academically.

Testimonials

What people say about Us.

“This course has impacted me a great deal in a positive way. It has taught me that rather than having power struggles with students and always being the authoritarian type, I should really hone in open ended questions with my students, take deep breaths when I am upset or remove myself from the upsetting/stressful situation, and really get to the bottom of that child's feelings after he/she does something that makes me angry."

“I will use the strategies/apporaces in my work as a coach. I will also share the program with the center directos that i engage with to support continued growh and developmet with emotionality.”

“This program helped me to remember that it is important to go with the flow of the day and that by being able to self regulate I am being an example to my class as well. This is beneficial for me, my students, and my coworkers.”

“Working with children is a joy but can also be stressful. This program reminded me that I do not have to handle everything alone. It is helpful to talk out difficult situations and remember I can reach out to others for guidance or suggestions. Mindfulness training helps refocus and calms me down so I can focus on the task at hand.”

“I will use the strategies/apporaces in my work as a coach. I will also share the program with the center directos that i engage with to support continued growh and developmet with emotionality.”

“I’ve definitely heard LifeSpan Center was talking about how it made a difference in their CDA program. I’ve definitely heard from programs that they felt more confident when completing their CLASS assessment, and for me, that’s huge.”

Erin

VP of Strategic Initiatives

“The process and the whole ECSEL program taught me that the kids need to know their emotions and understand their emotions. We are in a decade where we talk so much about emotions and mental health when we get older, but why not start when we are younger?”

Kalicia

Teacher

“[Begin to ECSEL] is based on research, but it’s also steeped in evidence and that’s really important. Not a lot of things in the early learning space really come together with evidence and research, so that sets it apart.”

Aruna

Chief Program and Policy Officer

"Begin to ECSEL has shaped teachers' understanding of not only their own emotional responses and reactions but the behaviors and underlying emotions of the children in their classrooms. The interactive courses, mentorship opportunities, and coaching calls create a community of support. I'm excited to see more of this!"
