Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Receives CHIMEExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Half of the educators participating in the trial will be assigned to this condition. CHIME is an 8-week, mindfulness and self-compassion based intervention that teaches educators strategies to enhance socioemotional learning in the classroom. The primary endpoints are: educator mindfulness and self-compassion, educator emotional regulation, educator heart rate variability, educator wellbeing and socio-emotional learning, and educator responsiveness, support, and sensitivity in the classroom. The secondary endpoints are: child self-regulation and social skills and family-school relationships.
Group II: Wait-listed comparisonActive Control1 Intervention
Half of the HS/EHS educators will be assigned to a waitlisted control group. Specifically, these educators will be scheduled to receive the intervention after a 6-month waiting period. During the interim period, they will complete the same assessments as Arm 1, but will continue to receive 'business as usual' support and professional development through typical Head Start/EHS programming.
