| Publisher Description: The most complete and readable mindfulness primer for educators and anyone who works with high school kids and young adults. Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), as pioneered by Jon Kabat-Zinn and others, is now being successfully applied in myriad areas of human activity--most recently, education. It's no surprise that psychologists and educators have found that mindfulness-based practices improve attention and performance and reduce stress in the classroom and in other school-based activities. This book is a thorough yet readable introduction to mindfulness and its applications and a primer for educators on how it can be used with students, with numerous practical exercises. The authors cover such topics as - cultivating resilience and managing stress - emotional development - communication and relationships - mindful use of technology - mindfulness for enhancing creativity - mindfulness and sports - teaching with attention - working with resistance - managing personal stress in the classroom - and much more |
