Abstract
Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) in educational settings are becoming increasingly common (Roeser, in press). The purpose of this session is to highlight contemporary research aimed at understanding how to systematically implement mindfulness training for both teachers and students in early childhood and elementary school settings. How might interventionists think about the scope and sequencing of mindfulness programs aimed at teachers, and mindfulness-trainings aimed at young children in a systematic way? What are the advantages, if any, of providing mindfulness training to teachers before they attempt to implement child-focused mindfulness trainings in the classroom? The three empirical papers in this session attempt to address these questions in the context of on-going intervention research efforts in early childhood and elementary school settings.
