Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium discusses the impacts of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) on teachers’ psychological well-being, mindfulness, self-efficacy, emotion regulation, and instructional effectiveness across diverse educational contexts. Drawing on robust theoretical frameworks and mixed-methods designs, the four studies examine: (1) pre-service teachers’ engagement with an app-based MBI; (2) CARE’s (an MBI) impact on special education teachers’ well-being and classroom functioning; (3) mindfulness training effects on middle school teachers’ emotional skills and classroom climate; and (4) systematic effects of MBIs on K–12 teachers’ mindfulness and self-efficacy. Together, these papers offer compelling evidence on how mindfulness training may foster teachers’ psychological well-being and relational presence, highlighting implications for implementation fidelity, teacher preparation, and equity in educator support.
