Description¶

The strategy is a classroom implementation recipe drawn from INSIGHTS: children participate in "10 weekly 30-minute sessions in their own classrooms led by their teachers to help the class gain empathy and resolve dilemmas through mitten puppets, videos and activities." Teachers deliver the sessions themselves, so no additional staffing is required, and the content is framed through a temperament-based lens.
