Mindfulness in Today's Classroom (CURI 6568): SUNY Empire State College
Make your classroom a "mindful" classroom with tools and strategies to address the stress in our schools.
NYSUT Education & Learning Trust and SUNY Empire State College are pleased to offer this graduate-level course.
Classes take place over 10 dates in November and December at Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES in Yorktown.
In this course, participants will examine the causes of toxic classrooms and more importantly learn tools and strategies to address the stress in our schools. Mindfulness allows educators to discover their professional impact through five essential elements - Happiness, Engagement, Alliances, Risk and Thought (HEART). Through this exploration of the "heartprint" they leave on each child, teachers will be able to explore how their personal and professional qualities impact the students in their room.
The author to the course text, Dr. Timothy Kanold indicates, "HEART provides a road map for the path of an educational professional: Professionals are emotionally more positive and thus Happier, are generally more Engaged in their work, seek Alliances as part of happier collaborative communities, are more willing to take focused Risks, and exhibit a Thought and wisdom practice that results in increased student learning."
