Description

General description Head and Heart Mindfulness
This course has been designed by teachers for teachers. It will help you create a calmer classroom environment with more engaged students as well as supporting the wellbeing of your students and yourself. On completion you will be skilled in:

Enhancing students emotional intelligence
Opening up comfortable communication channels
Supporting the improvement in peer to peer and student to teacher relationships
Assisting students to practice self-regulation
Reducing stress, and the risks of anxiety and depression

For the students!
If children are struggling emotionally and mentally, they cannot learn, pay attention, make decisions, solve problems, listen, focus, follow rules or interact appropriately - they cannot function to their full potential. Current research shows that 1 in 7 school aged children have a mental health condition and half of all mental health conditions emerge by 14 years of age. We cannot expect children to learn when they are suffering from stress, anxiety, poor emotional regulation or over stimulation. 

For yourselves as teachers!

Similarly, if teachers are struggling emotionally and mentally, they are less efficient, make mistakes, have difficulty with relationships and communication, and most importantly can not support their students to the best of their ability. Research in this area shows that many teachers don’t feel supported in their demanding roles and leave the profession due to stress and other mental health conditions.
