EDC-5300: Mindfulness Informed Restorative Practices

In this course we will explore Mindfulness adn Restorative Practices as foundational and interdependent practices central to developing a vital learning community where students and teachers feel connected, respected, relaxed and focused. Drawing from perpectives and research offered in the fields of social neuroscience, mindfulness, restorative justice, trauma-informed teaching, and nonviolent communication students gain a deep understanding of why and how Mindfulness informed Restorative Practices transform classrooms and schools. Emphasis is placed on each student’s unique goals and teaching styles, providing stuctures, resources and support for the tricky, often challenging work of teaching content while buidling community and attending to the social and emotional needs of students. Finally, participants will personally experience the power of Mindfulness and Restorative Practices as tools within a reflective practice, looking closely together at our teaching lives. This course is for the educator who is ready to commit to a full exploration of these principles and practices in a way that invites significant shifts in how he or she teaches or supervises others who teach.
