We teach children to pay attention to their experiences.
Being self-aware is the first step to self-improvement.
Teachers are seeing this play out in practice.
In a series of engaging mindfulness exercises, students learn to focus
on listening, breathing, movement, walking, eating, seeing, test taking,
developing kind and caring thoughts toward oneself and others, and more.
The program is delivered in 15-minute lessons offered 3 times a week during a 5-week course.
It is school-wide so that everyone benefits from the same teaching,
creating a school culture of calm, focus, and connection.
Additionally, teachers receive four independent training sessions and a curriculum.
Our intention is that they will continue to incorporate mindfulness into their daily schedules.
