What a big word... I would like us to just read it again... MINDFULNESS
take in the meaning of the word
" a state of active, open attention on the present " OR
" living in the moment and awakening to experience "
Now that is done i can assume everyone will agree on the fact that its a key element to have in our modern day classroom. When we have this present in our classroom it opens up a numerous amount of oppertunities and doors for both the students and teachers
Having mindfulness we as teachers can have become more accessable and available to students
When being mindfull we take into concideration we have losts of different students infront of you and that you need to create a platform for open communication where worries concerns and uncertainties can be heard. This can be both way the commnication. While communicating we as teachers should enable the students reading and writing skills. We as teachers should have empathy for our students and also understand them individually and they must also understand you as teacher from the start what you expect of them and they of you in return and that you dont stand bullying and harrassment of any degree and if the student ought to be mindfull they wont be bullying other fellow students but insteand promote social bonding among another.
When being mindful all of the above bold and underlined statements will be achieved or ticked of when a check list is checked. To establish and effective teaching environment in classroom we must be mindful about the students social, academic and behavioral background.
Positive home and school relationships will envolve when both student and teachers are mindful and awakens the now and present. To help with teaching in a mindfulness environment we can also make use of teaching strategies such as vygotksy's social constructivism and the classical conditioning behaviorist theory
So to conclude if you as teacher establish mndfulness in you classroom in visa versa direction and have all the bold and underlined aspects in place you and you student will get to your longed Lesson outcomes
Be brave
Be creative
And dont forget to smile
