Are you an #educator thinking about implementing a #mindfulness program at your school? Are you a #parent whose child is doing mindfulness?

I discuss some things to consider about mindfulness, especially the #curriculum in The Conversation. https://t.co/ifimo8BbWe

It was great to share some thoughts on #mindfulness in schools with Jessie Tobin and Paul Guay for the NYKids podcast @UAlbanyEdu! They were wonderful interviewers, and the production is top notch.

Some common themes across contexts in this @OECDEduSkills report on #SEL. Couple takeaways: 1. Adult SEL matters. 2. Integration of skills throughout school and at home matters.

Best article I've read on the nonsensical, indiscriminate, and wasteful IES cuts. Thank you, @stuartbuck1.

Andrew Berglund of @UAlbany's @TheRNAInstitute spoke w/ the @TimesUnion about the importance of indirect federal research funding.

Indirect costs help fund equipment, like mass spectrometers used for research on cancer therapeutics & other rare diseases.

Checker Finn: Dismantling IES "won’t improve matters. It’s just going to weaken the foremost truth squad in American education, the chief sponsor and funder of rigorous analysis, reliable data, and clear-eyed evaluations in a realm that needs more of those things, not less."

Call your elected officials everyone. His should not stand.

Pure love❤️

Want to see rigorous empirical research that is funded by a non-political federal agency created through bipartisan political consensus? Support @IESResearch. Without IES, get ready for a lot more pseudoscience driving classroom practices in U.S. schools. https://t.co/k3EpkqZn6c

This is one of the most beautiful moments you will ever witness.

Sir Nicholas Winton helped 669 children — most of them Jewish — escape the Holocaust.

His humanitarian accomplishments would remain unknown and unnoticed by the world for nearly 50 years.

Then in 1988 he was invited to the BBC TV show That's Life!. There he sat — unknowingly — as part of the studio audience, surrounded by the children he had rescued. They were now adults.

Then they surprised him with one of the greatest gifts of all time. Their presence.

They were there, all alive — because of him. Not only was he reunited with dozens of children he had saved, but he was also introduced to many of their children and grandchildren.

Please remember Sir Nicholas Winton, for his humanitarian operation known as the Czech Kindertransport.

Sir Nicholas George Winton, a British stockbroker, and a gift to this planet, left us on July 1, 2015, at the age of 106.

May his memory forever be a blessing and inspiration to all.

Please share. International Holocaust Day cannot be forgotten. But many are working to make that happen.

Proud to be a part of a university that values diversity across multiple dimensions, and rolls up its sleeves to do the hard work around inclusivity and belonging. This is not just rhetoric @ualbany!
