Self-Care for Parents During the Pandemic
Create moments of connection. – Sara LaHayne chats with us about creating moments of connection, giving kids opportunities to express themselves, and authentically owning our mistakes so we can learn from them.
Today’s guest on The EdTech Startup Show Podcast is Sara Potler LaHayne, Founder and CEO of Move This World. Move This World strengthens the mental, emotional, and social well-being of Pre-K to 12th grade students, educators, and families by building a daily practice of identifying, expressing, and managing our emotions in healthy ways. The learning program has impacted over a million students across 30 states for more than 13 years. In addition to projecting the strategic and creative vision and direction of the organization, Sara is an advocate for mental health and social-emotional wellness for all children. Move This World was largely conceived out of Sara’s own experiences growing up. It is this personal quality that defines the program’s unique approach to learning: Parents and teachers are encouraged to practice Social-Emotional Learning in their own lives; the program is continuously updated as it adapts to the ever-evolving realities of its end-users; and SEL is taught to become an ubiquitous part of schools’ learning cultures.
Sara is the Founder & CEO of Move This World, a social emotional learning program that provides over 1 million PreK-12 students and educators with video tools to strengthen their social and emotional wellbeing in order to create healthy environments where effective teaching and learning can thrive. Move This World ritualizes a daily practice of identifying, expressing and managing emotions through evidence-based, developmentally appropriate video tools. A life-long dancer and previous professional performer, Sara was a Fulbright Scholar in Bogot�, Colombia when she authored, implemented, and evaluated the original Move This World curriculum. Most importantly, she is the inspired mother of two little girls, who present her with hourly opportunities to Move This World, and lives with them and her husband in Brooklyn, NY. She has presented at conferences across 5 continents and been featured in Forbes, The Washington Post, The Guardian, ABC7, USA Today, The Atlantic, Education Week, The Huffington Post, Inc, Education Dive, and EdSurge, among others.
ClassCast Podcast Ep.035 features Sara Potler LaHayne, the founder and CEO of Move This World, a social-emotional learning (SEL) program that has served over one million students across 35 states, helping young people to achieve and maintain better mental health, emotional stability, and personal control -- all of which contribute to happiness and educational success. Throughout the episode, Sara and host Ryan Tibbens discuss what SEL is, how it works, what students/parents/teachers do in the Move This World program, and how we can make schools better by treating students as complete, dynamic human beings. SEL has become somewhat of a buzz word in public education lately, but Sara has dedicated over 13 years to building her company, increasing awareness of SEL, and supporting young people across the United States. If you want to learn more about social-emotional learning, the Move This World program, or why helping students with emotional well-being is so important, be sure to listen to the full episode.
