Case Study: Marjorie’s Story

Meet Principal Coble

Principal, Geraldine Johnson Middle School

Bridgeport Public Schools

Children learn from the adults around them, so when we give adults tools to handle anxiety, stress and difficult emotions, they pass those tools along to the children in their lives. 

Our work in schools targets the whole learning experience. 

Imagine if all the adults at school—from teachers to nurses to security guards—learned how to take care of themselves first. They’d be better at helping students with emotional control, reducing anxiety, and creating a safe, caring environment. This would lead to better focus, higher test scores, less stress, and so much more.

For parents and caretakers, as you spend time with the young people in your life, remember to celebrate the teachers who help them every day.
