Do you have an suggestions on how to measure the effectiveness of mindfulness in the classroom (2nd grade)? For example, a form that the classroom teacher and fill out each month to show how their class has changed since receiving mindfulness activities?
ReplyDeleteThat is a great question... I've posted it to Google+ and Facebook and I'll ask a couple of people who have more experience than I do in working with kids; I'll let you know what I find out... In the meantime, if anyone reading this has some suggestions, I'd really appreciate your input.
DeleteI heard back from Meena Srinivasan, author of Teach, Breathe, Learn: Mindfulness In and Out of the Classroom. She has a few suggestions for you:
DeleteYour school might try the DESSA: http://www.centerforresilientchildren.org/school-age/assessments-resources/the-devereux-student-strengths-assessment-dessa-kit/
Or you might want to post your question to the AME (Association for Mindfulness in Education) listserve:
http://www.mindfuleducation.org/ame-listserve/
Or the MiEN (Mindfulness in Education Network) email list:
http://www.mindfuled.org/email-list/
Bobbi Allan of Mindfulness in Education suggests that your form could include:
Delete• Paying and Sustaining Attention
• Calmness / Self-Control / Self-Regulation (here one could also look for the ability to ‘bounce back’ from high excitement or high emotions by remembering to pause and breathe)
• Self-Care / Participation / Cooperation
• Kindness / Care and Respect for Self and Others
Thank you for the response you gave to the query above re: measuring effectiveness in classrooms and thank you also for your amazing website. I have been introducing mindfulness to my 6yr old and your resources have been invaluable in helping me do this effectively. He loves it after only 4 nights!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Ayse. I'm glad you're finding the resources helpful, and I really appreciate your comment.
