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

The education landscape is changing by the minute, which is why we’ve developed a kindness curriculum that will support the well-being of every K-8 grade student this fall.

Learn Kind, our brand new, evidence-based curriculum will include pathways for the variety of learning environments that teachers may experience this fall (including hybrid schedules).. Learn Kind guides student development of core social-emotional skills like self-awareness, resiliency, and empathy, and includes resources specific to the pandemic we are navigating.
