Mindfulness Practices in the Classroom (Faculty Conversation Series)
OFE’s Faculty Conversation Series returns for the Spring semester next week with Mindfulness Practices in the Classroom (January 26, 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.). The benefits of mindfulness practices have been realized with health for several years; however, its role to help with student learning and memory is still being explored.
Series facilitator Dr. Maria Gallardo-Williams will be joined by OFE Faculty Fellow Dr. Erica Kosal for a discussion about what is known from the literature on how mindfulness can help with student learning and mental health. They will share share practical exercises suitable for classroom use.
