The Mindful Educator: Meditation and Mindfulness for Preservice Teachers

Abstract

This focused discussion will summarize the successes and challenges of integrating a meditation/mindfulness course into a preservice teacher education program. The presenter will share her experience in facilitating the Koru mindfulness program with teacher candidates and engage participants through a discussion based on a Who? What? When? Where? Why? and How? framework. Reflections will be shared regarding how to engage university students in a sustained mindfulness practice using Koru meditation and mindfulness skills and tools and how this practice can potentially impact students in K-12 schools.
