This has helped deal with some of my students with SEND
very useful current ideas on how to manage stress practically :)
A straightforward and practical guide to how to instil mindfulness in your life and your teaching practice. I would particularly recommend this to those starting out in the profession, as an aid to the challenges that lie ahead, but it is also useful for experienced practitioners who feel their wellbeing is suffering as a result of the demands of the role. A great read!
With mindfulness becoming more prevalent in schools this book is a really useful guide to what it is and how to support yourself as a trainee or qualified teacher and your students. It has a range of exercises to use for the teachers and their students and gives practical advise and case studies throughout. It explains how mindfulness relates to social and emotional well being and learning. Teachers are more informed and will hopefully be confident to try out the mindfulness activities in class.
