Every Child Thrives

One teacher can change the arc of a child’s life. Mindfulness lays that foundation. Mindfulness in schools not only helps students to manage stressful and sometimes traumatic experiences, it can also help teachers! Evidence shows that mindfulness in schools impacts students’ social and emotional well-being, enhancing resilience and both mental and physical health as well as academic outcomes, learning and cognition. Research also emphasizes the need for teachers and administrators to learn mindfulness themselves and establish their own practice in order to effectively cultivate a school culture of mindfulness.”
