Learning during a pandemic. A kindness.org response to COVID-19 School Closures.

A few months ago, our team launched the Learn Kind pilot with an incredible group of K-8 teachers across the U.S. But like most of you, this last month has forced us to pivot. In order to support the nationwide transition to remote teaching and learning, we’ve paused the Learn Kind pilot until it can be fully experienced by students and educators, together in classrooms. We are now working daily to provide educators and parents with brand new resources to support kindness and social-emotional learning in the home, as well as a curated collection of stellar educational resources that are available right now for free.

We can’t wait for the day that educators and students can reconnect in classrooms. But until that day, we are here to support you and hope these resources lighten the load just a little bit.
