Learn how to cultivate your own mindfulness practices and discover new methods to include in your school lesson plans. Emerge from this workshop with your mind full of practical tips.
Schools around the world are turning to mindfulness and social-emotional learning as an antidote for rising stress, emotional dysregulation, and attention deficit issues. In school systems that have adopted mindfulness, students and teachers are found to be more focused, compassionate, and resilient. In this Mindfulness in Education talk, participants will learn the skills to bring the benefits of mindfulness to children in grades K–12.
Drawing from the Mindful Education Workbook curriculum, participants will learn how mindfulness can support our own personal development as well as how to apply mindfulness to children of different ages, populations, and special needs. Current research and examples of how schools and organizations are already successfully integrating these transformative practices will be examined.
This workshop is open to all day school educators for all grades.
