Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), as pioneered by Jon Kabat-Zinn and others, is now being successfully applied in myriad areas of human activity—and most recently, in education. It’s no surprise that psychologists and educators have found that mindfulness-based practices improve attention and performance and reduce stress in the classroom and in other school-based activities. This practical guide explains mindfulness and its applications and shows educators how it can be used with students.

   • cultivating resilience and managing stress
   • emotional development
   • communication and relationships
   • mindful use of technology
   • mindfulness for enhancing creativity
   • mindfulness and sports
   • teaching with attention
   • working with resistance
   • managing personal stress in the classroom
   • and much more



This book is essential reading for teachers, counselors, parents of children high-school-age and above, and college and graduate students.
