CPD/INSET Course Summary: 

This informative and engaging one-day course is an introduction to mindfulness for teachers and explain how it can support individuals in schools to enhance their wellbeing. The day will cover the science of mindfulness, how the mind reacts to stressors, and how training your attention can help regulate these reactions.

Participants will also be trained to deliver .breathe, MiSP's four lesson curriculum for 9-14 year olds to be taught in the classroom as part of the Personal, Social, Health and Economic education (PSHE) curriculum in Years 5-9.

.breathe is particularly well-suited to those young people facing transition: from primary to secondary school, through puberty, from lockdown back to school.

In particular, .breathe explores issues around:

• Working with the capacity of attention; exploring how we can work with a wandering mind.

• Why humans worry, and how to support ourselves when we do so.

• Sleep – why it is important and what to do if we struggle to sleep well.

• Being with others – the opportunities and challenges of working skilfully with friendships and other relationships, both in person and online.

The day will also include examples of the impact that mindfulness can have as a whole-school approach, and how to implement this for yourself and your school.
