Professional Development Opportunities

The Hawn Foundation supports the professional development of teachers and school leaders through workshops, lectures and participation by its staff and MindUP™ consultants at various conferences and institutes.

The growth of mindful education as a viable means to increase academic achievement and enhance the social and emotional development of children has generated many opportunities for teachers to develop new insights into their own practice and explore new or advanced understandings of relevant aspects of neuroscience and psychology. The following current events sponsored by The Hawn Foundation as well as other valuable opportunities for teachers, school leaders, and children and youth services professionals to continue to develop their professional skills, understandings, and interests.
