Teaching Mindfulness to Teens as a Path of Empowerment (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Teaching Mindfulness to Teens as a Path of Empowerment is a teacher-level perspective on mindfulness instruction that has systems-level implications. Mindfulness instruction is framed as an ally to social justice and antiracist practice; and as a path of empowerment, warriorship, self-healing, and collective transformation. In stand-alone essays that are rich with personal stories and student reflections, Meghan LeBorious lays the groundwork for a thriving mindfulness classroom that is highly engaging, rigorous, student-centered, and antiracist. She inspires readers to dig deep, imagine what is possible, and collaborate in making the world we want to live in, one in which every student is seen, supported, valued, and inspired; and is armed with the tools they need to step into their full power and potential.
