Pre-Conference Workshop – The Awakened Educator: On Contemplative Practice, Applied Research, and Social Transformation in Education

Yvette Jackson, Robert Roeser
Topics: Education | Mindfulness | Social Change

How can we re-envision and reform educational institutions based on our personal and collective aspirations, intentions, and motivations as awakened educators? We will collectively explore issues at the intersection of contemplative practice in education (e.g., mindfulness and compassion), applied research on those practices in school settings, and educational transformation efforts aimed at equity, social justice, and the success and flourishing of all in schools. Questions we will discuss and explore include: How can we develop an applied practical approach and research agenda at the intersection of contemplative and transformative education that encompasses culturally diverse children, educators, families, and systems? How can insights from education, applied developmental/prevention science, and developmental neuroscience contribute to this effort?
