Teaching is a deeply rewarding profession, yet it also comes with unique challenges that can impact well-being and effectiveness. Educators juggle multiple responsibilities, from supporting students’ academic and emotional growth to managing their own stress and energy levels. This interactive workshop provides practical mindfulness strategies to help educators cultivate balance, reduce burnout, and feel more empowered in their teaching. Participants will deepen their own mindfulness practices, develop strategies to manage stress and enhance focus, and learn to identify moments when students or the classroom as a whole could benefit from mindful interventions. They will explore practical methods to integrate these mindful moments into their lessons. Through hands-on exercises, guided discussions, and planning opportunities, educators will gain concrete tools to enhance their well-being, foster a supportive and balanced classroom environment for themselves and their students, and support social-emotional learning initiatives.
