Mindful Awareness for Educators (Ages 4–11 Years)

Mindfulness is a particular way of paying attention to internal thoughts, sensations, emotions, and external stimuli with kindness. Practicing mindful awareness in educational settings supports self-regulation, self-knowing, and metacognition while enhancing attention and decreasing stress. In this experiential workshop, you will practice mindful awareness and will learn activities to use in your virtual and socially distanced classroom to support classroom instruction, community building, and social-emotional learning. Practicing mindful awareness can support ourselves and the children we care for as we plan for the end of this unprecedented school year. For teachers, administrators, parents, caregivers, child life specialists, and museum educators. Instructor: Bonnie Levine
