How Making Time for Mindfulness Helps Students

Not knowing the answer to a question when you’re called on in front of the entire class. Forgetting your homework. The kid behind you pulling your hair. School poses a lot of stressful moments, but how children (and teachers) react to them can make all the difference.

A new study suggests that mindfulness education — lessons on techniques to calm the mind and body — can reduce the negative effects of stress and increase students’ ability to stay engaged, helping them stay on track academically and avoid behavior problems.

Why Tweet?

http://blog.mimio.com/why-tweet

In many schools, finding this time can be a huge challenge. Even if teachers can find the time to meet and talk, sometimes the group is not cohesive or collaborative enough to be very productive. And other times, they might not have a person in the school who teaches the same content or grade level. Teachers who want to plan and collaborate may have few, if any, options.

PTSD in Teachers: Yes, It’s Real!

When you think about PTSD, what normally comes to mind? To most people, what comes to mind is war veterans, because of course, they go through some truly traumatic experiences that most of us can’t even imagine. Their experiences are real and we should acknowledge them. At the same time, we also need to acknowledge that many other professionals experience PTSD. In fact, the unfortunate truth is that, in today’s world, teachers experience more and more trauma in the classroom, whether it is first-hand or secondary trauma.

The nature of education has undoubtedly evolved over the past decades. We have gradually moved away from a knowledge-transmission model and we now understand the need for experiential learning and the importance of cultivating soft skills that will stand our students in good stead when they enter the workforce.

Uttering ‘yet’ acknowledges that we are on our way and we aren’t sure when that will be but we’ll get there so keep watching. ‘Yet’ says to the person saying it and to the world at large that there is no giving up and I’m going to keep on trying. I might get there tomorrow, next week, next year or when I’m 45 years old but get there I will. It’s a word with in-built faith and ambition clothed in resilience.

Several book series appeared on the book lists, underscoring how important a reader’s relationship to a character can be to their relationship with reading. Often, once a student enjoys a book, something special happens—a connection is made—and students are motivated to seek out additional stories about the character, or simply by the same author.
