2 About us Co-teachers in K-1 Montessori Classroom Both Montessori Certified years combined teaching experience

3 Goals for Today s Session Understand positive effects of mindfulness. Develop a desire to start or continue mindfulness in your personal life and in your classroom. Acquire strategies to begin or continue mindfulness in your personal life and in your classroom.

4 What is mindfulness and what does it mean to you? Mindfulness is awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgementally. -Jon Kabat Zinn

5 Key Factors of Mindfulness Our attention is held on purpose. We are immersed in the present moment. Our attention is held non-judgementally.

6 What mindfulness isn t Mindfulness is not just meditation. Mindfulness is not wiping your mind clear of thoughts. Mindfulness is not relaxation. Mindfulness is not religion. Mindfulness is not sitting in a lotus posture and burning incense.

8 Research Says... Just teachers practicing mindfulness has a positive effect on students and classrooms. When teachers learn mindfulness, they not only reap personal benefits such as reduced stress and burnout but their schools do as well. -

9 Research Says... 10% improvement in test scores 86% reduction in suspensions 40% reduction in psychological stress 65% decrease in violent conflict Source: The David Lynch Foundation

10 Of teachers who teach mindfulness... 94% See Improved FOCUS 96% See Better EMOTION REGULATION 86% See More COMPASSION 57% See Improved ACHIEVEMENT Source:

11 More Research... A study of 90 moms by Dutch and Belgian researchers found very strong evidence that mindful traits in moms are associated with better outcomes for their babies. A study by Brown University that studied the mindful habits of 400 people found strong evidence that being a mindful person went hand in hand with a healthier heart and lungs. Source: mindful.org

12 And still more research... Researchers at Syracuse University found that preschoolers who learned mindful yoga practices became significantly better at controlling their impulses and delaying gratification. Source: mindful.org

13 And another reason... Google, General Mills, the Seattle Seahawks, and the U.S. military have all embraced mindfulness as a means of boosting performance and productivity.

14 It is almost impossible for one s spirit to survive in the constant din and hubbub of daily life. Some special places and special times must be set aside for quiet for one to be open to one s inner voice. Aline D. Wolf, author of Nurturing the Spirit

15 Now we know why, but how? First step Develop your own practice. Set aside 10 minutes every day. Andy Puddicombe TED Talk

16 Develop your own practice. Set aside 10 minutes every day. Sit and see what you hear or notice within your body. Focus on your breathing. Every time you notice your mind wandering, refocus on your breathing.

17 Be the Pond!

18 Everyday Mindfulness Reflect on 5 activities that you engage in each week, but which you often do in a mindless manner. For the next week, choose one of these activities to focus on each day.

19 Shell Observation Get into groups of 8 people. Each person chooses a shell from the bag. Observe your shell for 2 minutes.

20 To begin or enhance your own practice Use How to Train a Wild Elephant. Short chapters that gives you a mindful focus for the week. Most of the activities have a physical component.

21 Mindful Eating How does it feel in your mouth? What happens when you let it sit on your tongue? When you chew it slowly, what do you notice? How does it feel after you chew it for awhile? What different tastes do you taste? How does it feel when you swallow the food?

22 Remember You re not doing the practices wrong if you find them challenging. This is why we call it mindfulness practice. We have to do it over and over again to truly become aware.

23 Next Step...Take mindfulness to Start slow. your classroom! Use a bell to introduce mindful listening and to signal mindfulness time.

24 Next Steps... Teach breathing using Hoberman s Sphere. Use MindUp Curriculum.

25 Mindfulness in the Classroom Teach children about their brain.

26 Mindfulness in the Classroom Practice mindful listening. Practice mindful eating. Practice mindful movements. Use yoga - Flamingo Pose

27

28 Mindfulness becomes your Classroom Management! Push your pause button. Listen to your wise leader. Don t flip your lid. Would you like to use the mind jar to help you to calm down? Do a body scan. What is happening? PBS Pause, Breathe, Smile
