There are 10 stress mindset posters per partner language (60 posters in total) to reinforce learning from the research lessons related to stress management.
Mental health & wellbeing was a topic that emerged from the selection of strategies by participating teachers. In each country this was a topic that generated a lot of interest and teachers were eager to explore it. Thus, the project team created additional resources to support the development of research lessons for this strategy – such as stress mindset videos to teach stress mindsets in each partner language and classroom posters to reinforce the messages from the lessons throughout the school year.

The ILLUMINE YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@illumineproject) hosts videos for classroom use (stress mindsets) and video case studies presented by teachers from each of the partner countries (Spain, Portugal, Serbia, Estonia).
There are 9 video case studies presented by teachers and 12 stress mindset videos (2 in each partner language) created to support the conceptual replication of an evidence-based practice (Stanford research study).
ILLUMINE helps school teachers design more effective learning experiences by having teachers conduct research lessons and share their findings with the educational community. ILLUMINE’s teacher inquiry grounded approach aims to increase teacher use of evidence-based strategies with technology, understanding of science of learning theory (cognitive neuroscience), and collaboration with peers.
