A lot of good information in this piece. The headlie-- like headlies everywhere-- is unhelpful: " How Mindfulness and Trauma-Informed Teaching Can Go Together" might fit better: There are bullet points! "[T]he public school setting with 30-40 kids in a classroom is already not trauma-informed. It’s a very difficult context in which to build relationships, and the architecture, policies and procedures that can make schools feel institutional only make it harder. That’s why often Himelstein sees mindfulness first-and-foremost as a self-care technique for teachers. If teachers can successfully use their mindfulness practice to create metacognitive distance, they can take their ego out of interactions with kids." #DiehardsSociety https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/52881/why-mindfulness-and-trauma-informed-teaching-dont-always-go-together
