Take mindfulness beyond the buzzword and spark powerful learning environments!

As we navigate complex changes in our professional and personal lives, Mindful by Design is a resource that provides ways to infuse meaningful connection into remote learning, so that learners, teachers, and leaders can flourish. If you're experiencing "zoom burnout," or just looking for ways to connect more deeply and integrate SEL and mindfulness into the context of your teaching practices, this book is for you!

In a busy world full of challenges and distractions, mindfulness is about increasing a sense of presence and intention in everything we do. This must-have resource explores how mindfulness can improve teaching and learning, promoting the development of future-forward skills including creativity, entrepreneurship, innovation, and communication. Readers will learn how to cultivate a personal mindfulness practice that reflects their individuality, and how to create a community of care and respect through mindfulness, inviting learners to seek more authentic interactions with the curriculum, with themselves, and with each other.

Mindful by Design provides 24 detailed exercises, including step-by-step mindfulness lessons embedded into specific curriculum areas, ready to implement immediately. Filled with practical, accessible explanations and applications that are adaptive and engaging, this book demystifies mindfulness and empowers each individual to embrace a personal mindfulness practice and inspire powerful learning environments.
