My Students

My students are mostly high school freshmen at a small school in the heart of New York City. They are inner-city kids who come from a diverse racial, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Many of my students struggle with obstacles such as learning disabilities, emotional disturbances, and poverty.

I hope to create a classroom where students can both seek refuge from their difficult circumstances and everyday struggles, and acquire the tools they need in order to thrive in spite of them.

My Project

Solid scientific evidence suggests that mindfulness interventions improve attention, self-control, emotional resilience, recovery from addiction, memory and immune response.

Here’s a summary of benefits particularly relevant to educators and students:

Attention - Strengthens our "mental muscle" for bringing the focus back where we want it, when we want it.

Emotional Regulation - Observing our emotions helps us recognize when they occur, to see their transient nature, and to change how we respond to them.

Adaptability - Becoming aware of our patterns enables us to gradually change habitual behaviors wisely.

Compassion - Awareness of our own thoughts, emotions, and senses grows our understanding of what other people are experiencing.

Calming - Breathing and other mindfulness practices relax the body and mind, giving access to peace independent of external circumstances.

Resilience - Seeing things objectively reduces the amount of narrative we add to the world's natural ups and downs, giving us greater balance.

The courses teach these skills and techniques to educators, then train educators to teach them to our students.
