A Heart of Goldie...SEL in the Spotlight

From breakout roles in Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In and Cactus Flower to comedic classics like Death Becomes Her and The First Wives Club, Goldie Hawn has delighted millions throughout her career, recently starring with longtime partner Kurt Russell in The Christmas Chronicles films.

Now, Goldie Hawn is lighting up StageX with Deborah Quazzo and Carole Basile—educator preparation expert and Dean of the Mary Lou Fulton College for Teaching and Learning Innovation at ASU—to examine how brain science-backed EdTech can enrich learning and metacognitive discovery.

Hawn believes “children light the path to joy” and has dedicated much of her life’s work to creating innovative solutions to help children thrive. She founded The Goldie Hawn Foundation over two decades ago, alarmed by increases in school violence, youth depression, and suicide, and recognizing the increasing need for education systems to help children cope with stressful lives.

Working with leading neuroscientists, educators, psychologists, and researchers, the Foundation developed MindUP: an evidence-based, CASEL SELect program and teaching model that provides tools to help children self-regulate, understand their own emotions, reduce stress and anxiety, sharpen concentration, increase empathy, and improve academic performance. Available through an interactive online learning platform, MindUP now reaches over 7 million children in 48 countries.

Join us at the ASU+GSV Summit for this enlightening keynote with the iconic Goldie Hawn—April 12-15 in San Diego!
