Teaching Mindfulness in the Classroom Teacher Cohort

Course Description

• This cohort is intended for any teacher in DCSD who is implementing mindfulness in the classroom. We have high school teachers teaching Intro to Mindfulness, middle school teachers incorporating MindUP into their classes, and elementary teachers practicing daily mindfulness moments with their students. During our monthly hour sessions, we will begin with a core practice, followed with Mindful Communication skills, followed by collaboration time with teachers at similar grade levels. We want time for conversation and activity sharing in order to learn from one another and add to our toolbox of instructional tools.
