Examining Implementation, Process, and Outcomes of Cultivating Awareness and Resilience in Education for Teachers, a Mindfulness-Based Intervention

Tue, April 12, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 143 B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Teacher stress is an ongoing problem in education that has negative impacts on classroom quality and social and emotional learning. Over the last decade, studies of mindfulness-based interventions have demonstrated success in reducing teachers’ stress and improving well-being; however, the literature is still nascent. This symposium reports on the largest study to date of an IES funded, large-scale cluster randomized trial of the CARE for Teachers model. CARE is a mindfulness-based intervention designed to enhance teachers’ resilience and stress management to promote positive classroom environments and student outcomes. This symposium will present and integrate four studies exploring multiple facets of the CARE model including fidelity, teacher and student level quantitative outcomes, and qualitative interviews focused on understanding mechanisms of change.
