    I agree that we need to look toward a whole school approach to mindfulness and compassion. I work with k-5 student 30 minutes each week in their classroom while the teacher is “present”. There is an obvious difference in the climate of classrooms where the teacher participates in the practice and those who leave the room or get busy with other things while I’m in the room. I believe there is great value in teacher training and looking toward systemic buy in.

    Thank you. It is good to see the connections between mindfulness and relationship (connection) and then achievement and social/emotional skill development, and this bringin more equity to the classroom.

    It’s so encouraging to hear the research beginning to back up speculations about the connections between mindfulness and implicit bias, mindfulness and equity, etc. Thanks Dr. Flook!

    Lisa! Thank you. I echo your idea that the way in which to change the system is to work with the individual from inside th system and create a value around that relationship.
