Mindful Awareness Practices for Educators
The Mindful Awareness Research Center (MARC) at UCLA presents:
Mindful Awareness Practices (MAPs) for Educators -- A credit course for pre-K through PhD educators
Combining current research and practical application, this course is designed to provide teachers, administrators, parents, and mental health professionals the tools to develop their own personal mindfulness practice, the science behind it, and an introduction of tools to bring mindful awareness into educational settings. Exercises, activities, and approaches for all age groups are included. When taken for credit, this course combines two classroom-based workshop sessions geared toward educators (one introductory and one at midpoint), with six online sessions to provide a maximum opportunity for both guidance and personal practice. A noncredit option also is available for those interested only in participating in the online sessions for the development of a personal practice (without tools for children provided).
