5 Ways to Incorporate Mindfulness with Your Students

Education around the world has transformed for teachers and students alike over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thirteen years into my teaching career, I feel like a first-year teacher again. The weight of mounting demands feels unbearable. Teachers are struggling to provide engaging, effective lessons while educating students who have received varying levels of instruction during the most trying times of the pandemic.

In the midst of these challenges, teachers also have to navigate the social and emotional needs of their students, along with ever-increasing class sizes and varying levels of support from administration, all while adhering to COVID-19 regulations. Many days it feels as though there isn’t a spare moment to breathe, let alone add anything else to our already-overflowing plates.

Although our plates might be full, however, many of our cups are empty. To be our best teacher-selves, it is important that we find ways to fill those cups. And not only do we need to fill them, but we must make sure we are putting in the effort to fill them with things that are positive, life-enhancing, and will make a lasting impact on ourselves and those around us.

One of the best ways to do this is by incorporating mindfulness into our daily lives. We can have our cake and eat it too by encouraging mindfulness in our students at the same time. Now is the perfect opportunity for teachers and students to develop consistent mindfulness practices, together.
