Mindful Educators is a workshop for Pre K, Elementary, Middle, and High School Educators and staff. This workshop is designed to give educators the tools to cultivate their own mindfulness practice and introduce mindfulness in the classroom.
Mindfulness means paying attention to the present moment without judgement.
Research has shown that mindful educators have higher levels of classroom management and are more attuned to student needs. Mindful students have shown significant improvements in emotional regulation, compassion, focus and engagement.
This workshop is broken into two parts. In part 1, participants will get an introduction to mindfulness and learn ways to build their own mindful practice. During Part 2, participants will also learn about research-based benefits of mindfulness for teachers and students. Participants will have an opportunity to discuss benefits and barriers to implementing mindfulness in the classroom and explore various programs and supportive literature.
