Mindfulness in the Secondary Classroom

The presentation will walk participants through five, research-tested mindfulness practices to use with secondary students including Check-in, Breath Work, Movement, a Guided Mindfulness Practice, and a Close of Practice. Through interactive practices, participants will learn about each mindfulness technique, and how they can be combined into a lesson and separated into short brain breaks. Participants will also gain an understanding of how mindfulness supports academic, behavioral, emotional, and physical learning

Learning Goals:

1. The learner will identify what mindfulness is.
2. The learner will interpret why mindfulness impacts learners.
3. The learner will develop and manipulate 5 mindful practices to help student self-awareness and self-management.
