The Mindful Schools Curriculum and Teacher's Guide

A co-publication with Mindful Schools, this two-book set includes one copy each of The Mindful Schools Curriculum for Adolescents and Teaching Mindfulnessto Empower Adolescents. The Mindful Schools Curriculum is a comprehensive curriculum in which authors Oren Jay Sofer and Matthew Brensilver provide twenty-five brief (twenty- to- thirty- minute) lessons that supply a framework for mindfulness instruction that can be expanded or condensed according to the needs of students.  Users of the curriculum may also be interested in the instructional resource written from a similar perspective by these authors with JoAnna Hardy: Teaching Mindfulness to Empower Adolescents, a powerful guide to help teachers master the essential competencies needed to successfully share mindfulness practices with teens and adolescents. Incorporating anecdotes from actual teaching, they blend the latest scientific research with innovative, original techniques for making the practices accessible and interesting to this age group.
