Mindful Pedagogy is a continuing education series designed to support both teachers and students and is applicable to on-line and in-person learning environments.
THE 7 KEYS OF MINDFUL PEDAGOGY
Mindful Presence is consciously connecting with the people and purpose of the moment, with wakefulness, positivity, curiosity, empathy, and non-judgment.
Mindful Meditation is the quiet, singular direction of the mind, such as focusing on the breath, an intention, a sound, or an activity.
Mindful Self is observing and reflecting upon one’s thoughts, words, and behaviors, noticing how they affect oneself and others; it is the practicing of social-emotional competencies, such as self-awareness and self-management.
Mindful Community is welcoming and honoring the whole student, including emotions, with an open heart and clear boundaries. Mindful Community invites learning that is inclusive, respectful, personal, and meaningful.
Mindful Communication is choosing words and phrases that are enlivening, constructive, and welcoming of multiple perspectives and ways of being, knowing, and creating.
Mindful Play is approaching teaching and learning with a sense of openness, lightness, spontaneity, and experimentation. When we make space for play and wonder, we and our students are much more likely to find meaningful and joyful pathways of engagement.
Mindful Modification is teaching with flexibility, relevancy, and awareness, receiving and responding to the pulses and pulls of the moment.
