Happy Teachers Change the World:
A Guide to Cultivating Mindfulness in Education
|
Dear Friend,
At last – the book you supported is here! The first official, authoritative manual of the Thich Nhat Hanh/Plum Village approach to cultivating mindfulness in education! Happy Teachers Change the World: A Guide to Cultivating Mindfulness in Education spans the whole range of schools and grade levels, from preschool through higher education, suggesting practices and techniques grounded in the everyday world of schools, colleges, and universities.
This book is firmly rooted in the experience of educators like yourself. It stresses that educators must first establish their own mindfulness practice, since everything they do in the classroom will be based on that foundation.
The book includes inspirational guidance by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, and evidence based guidance by educational expert Professor Katherine Weare, followed by easy-to-follow, step-by-step techniques, guidelines and instructions for practices taught by Thich Nhat Hanh and the Plum Village community, perfected by educators to teach themselves and to apply to their work with students and colleagues, with ample in-class interpretations, activities and tips.
Woven throughout are inspirational stories of the ways in which teachers across the world have made mindfulness practice alive and relevant for themselves and their students across the school and community, applying these teachings in their own lives and educational contexts. Teachers like you at all levels, including administrators, counselors, and other personnel have shared their stories and experience of cultivating mindfulness in themselves and their students, and developing it in their classrooms, schools, universities and communities, with the book team.
We were thrilled and touched to receive literally hundreds of inspiring responses and stories from our beloved community, all of which we read and analyzed with the utmost care, and all of which shaped the book and its guidance in direct and indirect ways. Due to work length we were not of course able to include everyone’s total sharing verbatim, so sincere apologies if yours is not there, or in there in full, but be fully assured we treasured it and it influenced our writing. Thank you for playing your part in this!
Parallax Press released the book today, Tuesday, June 6! You can order it from Parallax here. The Wake Up Schools community can take advantage of a 25% discount by using the Discount Code: TNHEDU (valid through July 1, 2017).
Thanks again for making this book into a real world example of how happy teachers are already changing the world!
Sincerely,
Yvonne Mazurek
on behalf of The Book Team
