Healthy educators are at the foundation of a healthy classroom. Research demonstrates that mindfulness practice can support teacher well-being, and in turn, a healthy classroom climate. This workshop offers an opportunity to come together with other educators implementing mindful practices into their personal and professional lives. Participants will engage in mindfulness practice and collaborate with others to support mindful awareness both in and out of the classroom. It is through practice that we support mindful awareness in ourselves and our students.
Workshop Goals:
- Demonstrate an understanding of the research-based benefits of mindful practice for educators
- Engage in various mindful practices to support educator well-being
- Collaborate with other educators to support and enhance current mindfulness-based educational practices
Prerequisite:
It is assumed that those participating will have either taken the previous workshop or have an established personal mindfulness practice that they integrate into teaching.
