Implementing Mindfulness in Schools: An Evidence-Based Guide

This publication from The Mindfulness Initiative’s education team is a comprehensive guide written by education policy co-leads Professor Katherine Weare and Adrian Bethune after extensive consultation with an expert steering group.

The guide aims to be a crucial resource for all teachers, educators, and SLT members interested in implementing mindfulness within their schools. It covers what mindfulness is (including the neuroscience behind it), the evidence base and the outcomes of mindfulness in schools for both students and teachers, and the key practical considerations around successfully implementing an ethical and sustainable mindfulness programme within a school setting.
