Champion Check-In

Your daily dose of SEL
At Classroom Champions, we believe all teachers deserve resources to help their kids understand critical social and emotional learning skills. 

Our Mindful Minute videos are 60-second inspirational messages and lessons from world-class athletes across sport. The topics range from the importance of sleep to managing stress and anxiety.

For every classroom moment, there’s an SEL lesson and Mindful Minute to support your teaching. Your classroom can have a weekly Champion.
