The Compassion Lab
First – Our research group focuses on supporting the development of the evidence-based SEE Learning program and CBCT for educators by determining implementation processes to improve feasibility, impact, and long-term sustainability at the school, district, city, and national levels.
Second – We aim to enhance understanding by developing tools and measures for implementing CBCT and SEE Learning effectively.
Third – Our goal is to support global dissemination by emphasizing impactful manualization processes.
Forth – We contribute to compassion-based education studies worldwide through scientific advancements in the general understanding of compassion, common humanity, interdependence, and all the domains of secular ethics.
Research Sites
As part of our commitment to global research, we collaborate with prominent research scientists, educational specialists, and leaders. Together, we facilitate country and region-specific research, drawing from their expertise. Our goal is to create inclusive work that can be widely disseminated. Below are examples of the amazing work being conducted across our global network.
Several Studies of Late Elementary and Middle
Multiple School Districts
Implementation, RCT, Quasi-experimental, Qualitative, and Mixed Methods
Feasibility
Implementation in Elementary Students
Preliminary Impact in Elementary School Students
How we are growing
Our goal is to continue to foster local and global collaborations that contribute to our understanding of SEE Learning, CBCT for educators, whole school implementation processes, and the global development of schools that are both rigorous and grounded in fostering kids and communities that are kind, compassionate, resilient, and academically rigorous. We welcome the growth and development of this global research network. For any questions or to join the collaboration, contact us via email.
Building for change
Building from the education literature, six domains have been identified as critical for implementation that is sustainable across a system. The key, when addressing sustainability, is a willingness to focus on what is possible across all domains vs. focusing on a single domain or area of implementation.
Those in leadership need skills and SEE understanding for implementation to thrive
Engaging families and communities creates a shared vision that enhances sustainability
Student voice and inclusion is developing SEE creates opportunities of stronger program impact
SEE must align with school initiatives as a part of shared goals that are communicated
Ongoing professional development support creates opportunities and spaces to strengthen educator development
