Research
Since its inception in 2003, The Hawn Foundation has been actively involved in educational programming and investigating ways to demonstrate the effectiveness of mindful education and SEL curricula. The Foundation’s approach is to broadcast a deeper understanding of approaches and strategies to help children and teachers develop self-awareness and attention and emotion-regulation, obtain SEL skills necessary for enhanced academic success, and sustain more optimistic classroom and school environments.
The Hawn Foundation supports research projects conducted by its Scientific Research Council members as well as other scholars and scientists on recommendation of the Research and Science Subcommittee of the Board of Directors.
