Mindfulness
Kabat-Zinn defined mindfulness as "the awareness that emerges through paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally to the unfolding of experience moment by moment."
Mindfulness with Teachers
When teachers learn mindfulness, they not only reap personal benefits such as reduced stress and burnout and their schools do as well. In randomized controlled trials, teacher who learned mindfulness reported greater efficacy in doing their jobs. Including more emotionally supportive classrooms and better classroom organization based on independent observations.
Mindfulness with Students
Studies find that youth benefit from learning mindfulness in terms of improved cognitive outcomes, social-emotional skills, and well being.
In turn, such benefits may lead to long-term improvements in life. For example, social skills in kindergarten predict improved education, employment, crime, substance abuse and mental outcomes in adulthood.
