Join us to learn about mindfulness and how it can be used effectively in K–8 classrooms. We will navigate a lesson from The Mindful Student curriculum, which contains age-appropriate, grade-specific activities that help students to refocus and reset. See how these mindfulness activities range from quiet visualizations and guided reflections to interactive partner work and role-playing. Learn how educators can receive asynchronous training with the Mindfulness Mini-Course.
