Information about Online Mindfulness Fundamentals:
This is a six-week online training on the essential techniques and application of mindfulness. It has been adapted from our local on-site Level 1 training, and consists of weekly reading, guided audio practices, and supportive worksheets. A guiding teacher will be monitoring the training as well as responding to questions and adding relevant comments to enhance the experience of the group.
This course is designed to be done on your own schedule during the week. Typically your week's materials will be emailed to you by Saturday mornings. You will receive a mid-week check in from your guiding teacher on Tuesday and then a final reminder to read the week's materials and answer the questions on Thursday. Your answers to the 3-5 weekly questions are due on Sunday evenings, which account for your attendance in the course. If you complete each week's questions, you will receive a certificate of completion from us.
Information on the Curriculum Training
This training is based off the Mindful Schools in-school K- 5 curriculum taught to over 18,000 children since 2007. Our highly experienced and skilled Mindful Schools trainers Megan Cowan, Executive Director of Programs, and Kate Janke, Director of Training, will guide you through the curriculum containing nearly 30 lessons in mindfulness, teach you how mindfulness positively impacts the brain, show videos of programming in action and inform you on how to bring a mindfulness program into schools. The curriculum focuses on teaching children how to pay attention, build empathy, cultivate self awareness, reduce stress and control their impulses. There is time dedicated throughout the training to practice the lessons in a group. This prepares you for bringing the curriculum to life and helps you anticipate challenges you might face, so that you can get the support you need. Our aim for participants is to give them an interactive learning experience while meeting with other mindfulness practitioners from various professional backgrounds.
Participants will receive 20 hours of training along with the Mindful Schools K-5 Curriculum, a Teacher's Manual, handouts on the brain science of mindfulness, and information on how to bring mindfulness to a school. Lessons from this curriculum can easily be adapted for older youth, use in the home, after school programs, or in a private therapy practice.
During this training, Mindful Schools will be providing coffee & tea in the mornings and lunch for participants. We also have a discounted room block available for those of you who are coming in from out of town.
CEs for educators are available.
Hours: Friday at 9:30am - 4:30pm; Saturday at 9:30am - 4:30pm and Sunday at 9:30am - 3:30pm.
