| Description | |
Online Course Timeframe: April 1-28
101: Mindfulness Foundations is an educator-centered approach to bring mindfulness to K-12 contexts. In this 4-week course, Mindful Schools provides a grounding in the neuroscience of mindfulness and share simple yet powerful practices and strategies to bring mindfulness into daily life––to manage stress, build resilience, and bring your full presence to interactions with students.
Mindful Schools defines mindfulness as being present in the moment here and now, paying attention to our thoughts, bodily sensations, and external environment with kindness, nonjudgment, and curiosity. Mindfulness can provide immediate tools to meet challenges with more openness, care, and compassion, as well as strategies that promote everyday self-care and well-being.
This is the first course in the path toward building a “mindful school” and fulfills the prerequisite for 201: Mindfulness in the Classroom.
While this course is online, there will be optional Zoom meetings set up throughout the course to connect with teachers from the area. The first meeting will be on April 6, from 3:30-4:30 with other meetings to be determined by the group. |
