Mindfulness is tuning in your full attention, on purpose, to the present moment and checking out what is happening with a curious and kind attitude. A regular mindfulness practice can strengthen your ability to slow down during difficult or stressful moments, so you are better able to manage your reactions and make wise, thoughtful decisions that support your values, beliefs, growth, and community.

​

This 6-week, live, online series is an opportunity for you to deepen your mindfulness practice and explore the integration of your practice into your role as an educator. Practicing and exploring mindfulness with a group of your peers can provide the motivation to stay curious and kind in your practice. We will use the book Mindfulness in the Secondary Classroom: A Guide for Teaching Adolescents by Patricia C. Broderick to aid discussion and reflection. A copy of this book is included in the registration fee, and we will mail a copy to your home address.
