Why Use Mindfulness in the Classroom?

If you aren’t yet sold on the impact that mindfulness can have on your thoughts and actions, we’ll share a story that will change your mind. Then, we’ll reflect on some of our own interactions with students that have elicited less-than-desirable responses from us in the moment.

Key Points

• Just how powerful is meditation? We’ll share a story that will convince you to start trying it today
• Teachers reflect on recent student interactions that have triggered an emotional response
