    • “Teach with a moral lens,

      centered in compassion,

      reinforced by awareness”

       
      Mindfulness is about training yourself to pay attention in a specific way. When a person is mindful, they are able to focus on the present moment, they try not to think about anything that went on in the past or that might be coming up in future, a person can purposefully concentrate on what’s happening around them, and they can try not to be judgmental about anything they notice, or label things as ‘good’ or ‘bad’.
      The goals of mindfulness education are to help students learn:
      • ​Self-awareness
      • Empathy
      • Techniques to calm and focus the mind
      • Mindful communication
      • Applying mindfulness skills to everyday life
