Mindfulness is increasingly being used in educational environments as a way to help students learn more effectively, develop personally, enhance their physical and emotional health, and deal with study and exam-related demands.
Written by two internationally recognised experts in mindfulness, Mindful Learning provides practical insights and exercises on how to apply mindfulness in the educational setting, resulting in a book that clearly sets out how we can manage stress, improve performance and create better communication and relationships.
Practical exercises and informed theory (this book is referenced with endnotes) clearly explain how mindfulness strategies can be applied in educational settings. As teachers, efforts as educators which include a mindful approach and mindfulness techniques will increase students ability to focus on what is really being taught.
Adopting tactics detailed in Mindful Learning will teach, encourage and enable students to:
Use Mindful Learning techniques and exercises to focus on what you are learning, and make the most of the time and effort you invest in education.
