The Aware Educator
Ignite the Spark of Mindfulness in Every Classroom
A Mindfulness Course for Teachers & Schools
The Awareness & Compassion Project introduces The Aware Educator, a mindfulness course designed to provide schoolteachers with the tools to incorporate mindfulness and meditation into their lives, and ultimately into their classrooms.
We know that mindfulness mitigates stress, anxiety, and depression among teachers and students; fosters compassion, and enhances student academic performance, especially in light of the series of challenges faced by the world of education today.
It starts with the educator.
The Aware Educator starts with the educator.
We have learned from our years of training that mindfulness for students really only works if the teacher has some familiarity with mindfulness, and ideally a personal meditation practice.
Created for use either as a live group edition with a facilitator, or as a self-serve course, educator-students will discover the art of present moment awareness, self-compassion, and a variety of stress-reduction techniques for their own day-to-day lives.
