Mindfulness in Education

Everybody Present illustrates the transformative effects of mindfulness on educators, students, and their classrooms. Using concrete examples, Didde and Nikolaj Flor Rotne present a mode of classroom engagement that reduces stress to make room for thoughtful learning. A working manual addressed to everyone in the educational universe, Everybody Present presents real-world applications grounded in solid research. Stories, exercises, and case studies demonstrate the effectiveness of mindful practices across all areas of education. By exploring the challenges of teaching, Everybody Present will help all educators transform feelings of inadequacy into experiences of abundance.

Everybody Present seeks to create a new kind of culture in our schools- one that counters stress and facilitates learning. It reframes the student-teacher relationship, showing teachers how to supplant antagonism and foster strong relationships by planting seeds of mindfulness in their students and encouraging them to embark on a mindfulness practice of their own.

Everybody Present is intended to contribute to the creation of a culture throughout the educational system writ large, working against stress and victim mentality to set in motion a revolution of silence, allowing each individual the experience of inter-being, inner calm, and joy.

This will not only help teachers and administrators, but anyone interested in understanding the benefits of mindfulness. Dr. Paul Ekman, author of Emotions Revealed Everybody Present is a well-crafted and artful blend of clear explanations, research, teaching stories, and practice instructions that beautifully guides school teachers into developing a personal mindfulness practice and implementing it in the classroom. In the face of the tremendous challenges of teaching in schools today, no teacher should be without!
