EDN 514 - Mindfulness

This course engages students in the theory and practice of mindfulness through both academic study and experiential learning. Students engage in several forms of mindfulness practice, read and discuss the movement’s foundational literature and processes relevant to the practice of meditation, and review some of the scientific studies of mindfulness. Emphasis is placed on each educator’s unique goals and teaching styles, providing structure, resources and support for the tricky, often challenging work of teaching content while building community and attending to the social and emotional needs of students. Students also focus on the application of these ideas and practices in their daily, academic, and professional lives.
