Although #WorldKindnessDay was celebrated a few days ago, we still thought that this article was timely and well-worth sharing. #Kindness in all forms and in all settings is key to being a good #GlobalCitizen, but research shows that being kind releases oxytocin which can reduce stress and anxiety. An environment of kindness leads to increased feelings of #empathy and #inclusivity, many of the qualities educators strive to instill in their students! Find some practical suggestions from Cambridge for implementing kindness in the classroom here: https://lnkd.in/dJ62eEUQ And since we always love to talk about great books, here are a few titles we really enjoy around the topic of kindness: The Kindness Booth from Capstone https://lnkd.in/dGXd2rh8 Being Kind of Friends from North Star Editions, part of the Spreading Kindness Series https://lnkd.in/dpfRGuwa Mela and the Elephant from Cherry Lake Publishing Group https://lnkd.in/dwWfdeB6 A Kids Book About Kindness Online from DK, coming April 2025

It is so important that students can see themselves and those around them reflected in the literature they read. Be that representations of their culture, country, language or experiences, of which #MentalHealth is one. Offering a diverse selection of titles to students provides both a mirror and window so that students can feel seen and heard but also become more empathetic and open-minded to the experiences and backgrounds of others. Looking for additional diverse titles around different cultures, settings and experiences? Reach out to the Every Page Counts team!

As #MentalHealthAwareness month comes to a close and with many schools around the world in the midst of exam stress, we thought this was an interesting article to share and consider. Reading in general has been shown to reduce stress in people of all ages, but studies suggest reading fiction can actually enhance the ability of the brain to be more open minded and can improve memory. Fiction is often woven throughout primary and middle years curriculum but in secondary this may fall to the side as the pressure to prepare students for exams increases. But as international schools have the overall focus and goal of promoting international mindedness and global perspectives, don't the benefits of reading fiction then play a key role in preparing students of all ages? #internationalschools #readingisgoodforyou #internationaleducation #readmorebooks https://lnkd.in/eKHrYEip
