Mindful Teacher Mindful School: Improving Wellbeing in Teaching and Learning
Mindful Teacher, Mindful School: Improving Wellbeing in Teaching and Learning by Kevin Hawkins is a practical, thoughtful guide aimed at helping educators cultivate mindfulness in their personal lives, their classrooms, and across the whole school environment. Hawkins draws on both theory (including scientific research) and real-life stories from his extensive experience as a teacher, principal, and consultant to show how mindfulness can help with stress management, self-care, and emotional well-being for teachers. The book then moves to how these practices can be applied to teaching mindfully, supporting students’ social and emotional learning (SEL), and transforming the relational culture and emotional climate of schools. It offers concrete exercises, classroom activities, implementation strategies, and reflections on how to shift from individual mindfulness to fostering mindful communities of teachers and students, always emphasizing that change is gradual and requires commitment.
