For schools & educators
“The mind that opens to a new idea never returns to its original size.”
-Albert Einstein
The Super Journals empower schools to prime students for optimal learning and resilient living through the evidence-based tools of mindful breathing, body movement and journaling.
The Super Journals can fit seamlessly into existing SEL curriculum and can be used in minutes a day to help students, teachers and administrators create a thriving, healthy space for learning and student social-emotional wellness. In addition, we offer professional development and in-school workshops, Super Journal author visits, and consulting to meet every schools individual needs.
Professional Development and Workshops
A practical, fun and evidence-based opportunity to experience and explore effective mindfulness tools for the classroom that can be used within existing SEL curriculum and throughout the school day. Led by creator Elizabeth Heller, participants will focus on the science behind mindfulness to gain a deeper understanding of brain function and how mindfulness tools engage neuroplasticity. You will jump right in to learn and practice breath work, body movement and journaling tools to incorporate into the classroom. These three pillars of wellness offer an effective structure to help children and adults self-manage emotions, boost self-esteem and self-confidence, build resilience, and help create a calm and vibrant atmosphere for learning.
Author Visit with Elizabeth Heller
Creator Elizabeth Heller engages kids, teachers and staff in a fun, playful presentation of Super Journaling. This interactive visit asks kids to practice breathing, movement and journaling tools and even create some of their own! The visit can be individualized for a classroom or for your school as a whole. Kids, teens and adults will learn and participate, have an opportunity for Q&A and take-away Super Journal tools to use at home, school or anywhere out in the world.
