Why do you want to focus on this area for your ICDP?
I am focusing on Mindfulness for Teachers after participating in a session that Meg Frideres put on during Nevada PhD. I want to take this time to research practices so that I can research and implement mindfulness both in my personal and professional life.
What are you wanting to change about your practice and how will that impact student learning?
Learning and practicing new strategies around mindfulness to grow personally and professionally.
What school/class data shows this is an area of concern for you?
Our school has used SABRES in the past but has moved to using DESSA to collect SEL data on students statewide. The last few school years have been stressful for both teachers, families and students because of the Covid-19 pandemic and is reflected in stress around learning loss.
What do you see as your topic for research?
I will be researching and learning about developing mindful practices to do personally and professionally. I will be reading the book Mindfulness for Teachers.
How will this topic enhance and support student learning?
It will enhance student learning by learning to practice different mindfulness strategies to help regulate emotion, decrease stress and anxiety so that the mind is freed up to learn.
Where will you look for resources on this topic?
Resources/Books: Mindfulness for Teachers By: Patricia A. Jennings, Brene Brown, Meg Frideres, Emily Kruse, Erin Murphy
How will you know you improved in this area? What evidence will you have?
I will know I have improved because I will have specific mindfulness tools to be able to use to regulate emotions, reduce stress and anxiety both personally and professionally.
This is a great goal! Healthy teachers are the only way we can be helpful to our students and families!
