Bio
Martín Blank, MAPP, RYT, is a former K12 educator and administrator and current educational consultant and founder of School Wellbeing Solutions. He works with schools and districts invested in improving the well-being of students, teachers and staff through social-emotional learning (SEL) interventions and is the author of a turn-key 30-week SEL curriculum.
Martin's approaches build on the science of positive psychology, stress-management, mindfulness and organizational scholarship. His research with the University of Pennsylvania makes the case that SEL interventions should incorporate physiological measures of resilience into practice and assessment.
Martin was the 2019 recipient of the Christopher Peterson Memorial Fellowship awarded to a MAPP student.
Martin has personally reached over 15,000 teachers, students, and administrators, is a grant-recipient from the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, Sequoia Healthcare District MAPP Alumni Association, and Shinnyo-En USA. His work helping students and teachers manage stress in the wake of student suicides has been featured on PBS Nova’s The Future of Schools.
