Mindfulness In Education
Improving the classroom experience, mental health and wellbeing of both students and teachers
What does the science say?
Mindfulness improves students' ability to self-regulate. If we improve students' ability to self-regulate, we create optimal conditions for learning and therefore reduce the time spent managing poor behaviour.
Within schools, our courses improve the classroom experience by increasing the mental health and wellbeing of both students and teachers. Mindfulness improves students’ ability to self-regulate, and so this creates optimal learning conditions. Instead of staff spending time managing poor behaviours, more time is spent on providing quality education - which is exactly what schools are for!
Together with Mindful Meditation Australia, you can become a mentally healthy school. Founded by meditation advocate Kerry Harmanis, we have the knowledge you need to create a mindful environment.
If you are looking for meditation in Perth, we offer packages of one-hour or full-day workshops, which give you the tools to teach mindfulness to your staff and students. We even have extras, such as a mindfulness for parents workshop that is hosted at your school. For those of you elsewhere, we also have online meditation workshops and courses.
