Teacher Space to Actively Develop Mindfulness Practices

Funded Dec 5, 2023

Thank you for your contribution to our teacher space that emphasizes and makes space to develop and practice mindfulness. This school year, we have had professional development with Move Mindfully to learn more about how movement, breathing, and relaxation can reduce work based stress trauma. Our staff our utilizing the chairs you funded along with the Move Mindfully practices to recharge and support their mental health in our challenging workspace.

Staff have reported that they use the space to take breaks after difficult moments with our students who are age 18-22 and all have special education needs. One staff member shared that they used the chairs and Move Mindfully practices after a hard and stressful moment with a student and was able to return to the classroom re-centered and reengage in effective instruction with that student and others.

Thank you for supporting our staff's ability to work with students whose abilities need high levels of adult intervention. We appreciate you!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Micaela
