Needs Analysis

​

CONTEXT

There is currently at 18% attrition rate at a large, public middle school in North Carolina.  Teacher and student stress surrounding the post-pandemic return to school is causing compounding fear and anxiety.  Teachers want to focus on their students' needs - namely Social Emotional Learning skills - but none have the time or training to do so. 

​

As part of the plan to re-open schools, the school leadership has modified the daily schedule to allow for longer advisory time during homeroom to support students' social and emotional needs. 

​

The project will give teachers quick, practical skills to bring the stress-reduction practices into the classroom, benefiting teachers and students alike.  

OBJECTIVES

  • Business Goal: Reduce attrition to 10% by June 2021.  

  • Project Goal: Teacher confidence in delivering mindfulness practice to their students.
