What is mindfulness? In MPS, we are defining mindfulness as the "purposeful awareness of our thoughts, emotions, physical feelings, and environment in the present moment, without judgment." In Milwaukee Public Schools, we are implementing mindful practices within our multi-tiered system of support (which in MPS is PBIS) as a trauma-sensitive practice. A multi-tiered system of support traditionally has three tiers or levels of layered supports.
