This project will allow me to participate in a two-month professional development this summer to help our students and teachers learn techniques to enhance their physical, emotional, and mental well-being. I feel this is critical right now, especially in the midst of a pandemic. Depression rates amongst teens are at an all-time high, and they, as well as the teachers that teach them on a daily basis, would greatly benefit from social-emotional education. Breathe for Change is a unique organization that provides not only wellness and SEL (social-emotional learning) certification, but a 200-hour yoga teacher certification as well. Recently, a study by the Columbia University Center for Benefit-Cost Studies in Education found that every dollar invested in SEL has a societal return of $11. Since COVID-19, educator and student well-being is more important now than ever before.
