Show Notes

 Are you curious how Mindfulness can be taught in schools and support social emotional learning? This episode's guest is Gordie Hunt, a middle school teacher. We talk about Mindfulness in schools generally and the program I have been running in the middle school Gordie is teaching in.

Hear about the transformational power of mindfulness practices for students and teachers. We discuss some of the science behind it, and our experiences from a mindfulness facilitator and a classroom teacher's perspective.

Mindfulness is an effective way to change school culture, nurturing a safe and less stressful learning environment.

Note: the mentioned organization ‘Mindful Schools’ has since closed its doors.
