Coaching

We work with a mindfulness-based pre-school curriculum from the Center for Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin, USA. This curriculum was developed for a research project investigating the impact of mindful practices on the wellbeing of preschool children.

The CDSE staff accompanies the implementation of sequences (developed together with the teacher) focussing on sensory experiences, feelings and thoughts, i.e. the experience of the 'here and now'.

This program provides concrete tools for children to consider their individual needs and to develop a respectful attitude towards themselves and others, a sense of belonging to the group, empathy and positive emotions.

In addition, Mindfulness promotes the child's ability to concentrate, control impulses, relax and lower stress levels.

The program has been scientifically tested and validated.

The CDSE mediators intervene when the climate of the class hinders the learning process for ex.: when a pupil is being teased or rejected by his/her classmates (deliberately and repetitively during a certain period). 

Within the scope of coaching, the CDSE staff helps the pupils to develop skills such as communication, team spirit and autonomy. The coaching promotes a school climate favorable for discussion and for learning and it supports the well-being of the pupils in the class.

Social, emotional and ethical learning (SEE Learning™) is an innovative educational program aimed at children aged 4 to 18 and was developed by Emory University, Atlanta. The CDSE is the official partner organization of Emory University for Luxembourg and a partner of SEE Learning™ Europe.

SEE Learning™ provides educational professionals with the tools to develop and foster the emotional, social and ethical intelligence of both students and educators.

SEE Learning™ is based on cutting-edge educational research and builds on the foundation of SEL-programs by incorporating important additional components, such as:

• Attentiveness training
• Compassion and ethical decision-making
• Systems thinking
• Resilience and treatment practices relying on understanding of trauma therapy

This program offers a developmental strategy with easy to implement lessons, a conceptual framework for curricula and resources for the guidance and training of educators. SEE Learning allows students to engage in a global community and to advance in their socio-emotional development while also providing educators with the tools to foster their students‘ well-being.
