Testimonials

Teaching Well is blessed to have worked with so many teachers, school administrators, students, and more! Here are the words from some of the incredible people I’ve had the opportunity to work with:

Professional Development Testimonials

"Danielle had a great personality and was very professional and relatable. The professional development provided a very practical experience."
"Danielle’s passion for the positive effects of mindfulness in her own personal life and in her classroom shines through in her presentation. She is able to relate to her audience very well and provides a very welcoming and calm atmosphere for her participants to learn and apply the concepts she is teaching. It is clear that Danielle believes deeply in the concept of mindfulness and “practices what she preaches” in her daily life both in and out of the classroom."
"I think this is a topic that definitely needs more focus. Teachers are so busy taking care of their students they often don't think to take care of themselves. Lots of great resources were shared, as well as interactive ways for staff to incorporate mindfulness into their daily life, which everyone loved! "

“Practicing mindfulness has helped me to handle stress more effectively. It not only helps me calm down in the classroom in certain situations, but it also teaches the students that it is possible to control your reactions.”
“I was able to start applying the information and practices immediately and found that it did impact my teaching in positive ways.”
“I feel like my classroom has become a more peaceful and productive environment.”
“Once I was able to use/master the mindfulness skills in my personal life, I naturally carried my behaviors into the classroom.”
“I am now able to recognize changes in my body temperature, heartbeat, and breathing as indicators of my mental fitness and adjust accordingly.”
“Mindfulness has helped me to be less stressed overall at school as well as at home.”

Student Testimonials

“It’s made me look at my family members and better analyze what emotions they are feeling and gives me an opportunity to know how to respond to them.”
“Mindfulness has helped me be more aware of my surroundings and make me feel safe.”
“If I feel like I’m going to cry, I just do deep breathing and it usually helps.”
“Mindfulness has helped with my stress, especially with tests and assignments.”
“The main thing I learned is that mindfulness isn’t just putting your emotions to the side, it’s noticing them and making yourself aware of them.”
“I taught some of these things to my mom.  She is always complaining about how stressful her day is at work… She told me she noticed it helps relieve stress.”
