Mindfulness
Great news! Our organization has signed up to use Inner Explorer, giving all of us the opportunity to start practicing mindful awareness with our students. The simple "just press play" program fosters life skills such as improved focus, compassion, gratitude, and self-regulation as key elements in a student's continuous improvement.
Inner Explorer has advantages for educators, too. The program is designed to be easy, requires no preparation or previous experience, and can be incorporated into any part of the school day.
Proven effectiveness of daily practice includes:
• Increases average GPA by 15%
• Improves reading, math and science grades by 28%
• Decreases disciplinary referrals by 60%; and
• Reduces teacher stress by 43%
