Our new mindfulness pilot in 12 classrooms school wide is going very well this year. We've had comments from teachers that include words like, "amazing," "helpful," "useful," and "instructive." Teachers agree that the program is helping their students, and helping them to be more centered as teachers. Our annual PBIS data show a dramatic improvement in behavior school wide, placing us in the best 25% of the nation in this month.
We anticipate that this program, if successful, will be expanded to include more students and classrooms in the future.
