What is "Mindfulness in the Classroom"?
Mindfulness Meditation has been a well-known
practice for years, but in the recent past has become a growing area of
interest within the neurosciences, also becoming more widely used within
schools in an effort to help children improve attention, self-awareness and
self-control, pro-social behaviors/attitudes and overall mental health. This
presentation provides an overview of the theory, scientific support and
practical applications of Mindfulness-Based classroom interventions. Core
elements of school-based mindfulness programs will be identified and
participants will learn hands-on mindfulness-based activities that can be used
to effectively teach mindfulness concepts and applications to students within
the classroom setting.
