Mindfulness In Teaching And Learning

EDITED BY IRENE MCHENRY AND RICHARD BRADY

Brief Description:
This book is a compilation of essays on how contemplative methods can be used in the classroom (or First Day School) for all ages. By using items such as pebbles, mandalas, books, journals, and artwork in a meditative setting, the core skills underlying all learning: concentration, observation, relaxation can be developed. Also explored are Quaker Meetings for worship, Clearness Committees, yoga and other mindfulness practices. Contributors include Christie Duncan-Tessmer, Chip Poston, Kimberly Post Rowe and the co-editors. "A lovely compilation of stories, ideas, and suggestions for bringing mindfulness to life in the classroom." - Jon Kabat-Zinn
