If you answered “YES” to any of these questions, Teaching Well can provide resources and education on student mindfulness!
Some of my topics specifically for students include:
Times Vary Depending on School and/or Student Needs – Mindful Schools Curriculum
Mindful Kids & Mindful Teens courses based on the Mindful Schools Curriculum. Each lesson teaches students about one aspect of mindfulness, and includes practice time and discussion.
10 lessons over 10 weeks. Each lesson is approximately 15-20 minutes for K-5 students, and 30-40 minutes for 6-12 students. (Program length, and individual session length, can be customized to meet your needs).
Two training sessions for teachers (each approximately 30 minutes long — one at the beginning of the program and one follow-up session after program completion).
Workbooks with mindfulness activities for each student (K-5 grades only) — handouts provided for students grade 6 and up.
A mindfulness manual for the classroom teacher.
A bell for each classroom to continue mindfulness practice after the program ends.
Mindfulness manuals for parents.
One parent meeting (held in the evening) to introduce parents to mindfulness and the Mindful Kids or Mindful Teens program, and to provide ways for families to practice mindfulness together.
The Mindful Kids and Mindful Teens programs include the following lessons:…
Mindful listening and communication
Mindful breathing
Body awareness
Generosity
Mindfulness of thoughts
Mindfulness of emotions/emotional awareness
Gratitude
Kindness and caring on the playground (and/or in the halls)
