Mindful School. - Marie Marino, MS, Lower School Educator.
I\'ve been amazed by how quickly my students took to a mindfulness practice and what a natural fit it is with our whole educational approach.
Based on years of experience and refinement, McLean\'s well-organized Curriculum makes it easier with thoughtful, practical Information that can be easily implemented at any grade level. - Molly Love, MSW, LCSW, Lower & Middle School Parent McLean tells us upfront: mindfulness itself is not hard, but creating a successful program takes effort.
It\'s part science, part common sense, and all about giving students valuable and lifelong tools for self-regulation and stress management.
There\'s a lot to love about McLean\'s unique approach to mindfulness education, in particular how to make it part of the day-to-day school culture as opposed to a stand-alone program.
With the right balance of Information and inspiration, this book is a valuable resource for schools and individuals new to mindfulness education, as well as those looking to enhance an existing program.
Organized around the five tenets of mindfulness--breathing and body awareness, emotions, heartfulness and gratitude, listening and communication, and engagement of the senses--this Guide addresses not only the what and the how, but also the why of mindfulness.
McLean\'s mindfulness Curriculum is rooted in research and years of experience, and includes a variety of activities and access points for all ages, from kindergarten through high school.
McLean School, located just outside Washington, DC, is a nationally recognized and longtime leader in mindfulness education and knows just how transformative it can be for students and schools as a whole.
These are just a few of the many benefits of mindfulness, a scientific and skill-based program proven to help students in school and in life.
Improved academic performance.
