RPS Mindfulness Practices and the Intricacies of Students’ Behavioral Self-Regulation

• In Event: Social and Personal Perspectives in Education

Abstract

As teachers of elementary school, middle school and high school, we are focused on teaching students, in all age ranges, how to regulate their behavior in a variety of situations through the application of mindfulness practices. Research has shown success internationally, but America seems to be behind in the use of mindfulness as a strategy for classroom management and student engagement. The roundtable offers the chance to discuss mindfulness strategies and preliminary data.
