Mindfulness in the Secondary Classroom: A Guide for Teaching Adolescents (SEL Solutions Series) (Social and Emotional Learning Solutions) [EPUB ebook] 

Selected as a ‘Favorite Book for Educators in 2019’ by Greater Good.

 

Mindfulness provides a strong foundation for other social and emotional skills and is making inroads into classrooms as teachers seek ways to center and focus their own attention as well as that of their distracted students. Trish Broderick describes the particular relevance of mindfulness to the teaching of adolescent students, including its potential to alleviate stress, foster motivation, engagement, and compassion—and ultimately, to improve both learning and social relationships. Her book is a guide to applying mindfulness to day-to-day classroom challenges; every chapter contains authentic vignettes of secondary teachers and students, brief practices to try, and a set of takeaway points and reflection questions.
