Everybody Present: Mindfulness in Education
Autor Nikolaj Flor Rotne, Didde Flor Rotneen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 aug 2013
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.
Illustrating the transformative effects of mindfulness on educators, students, and their classrooms, Everybody Present shows how mindfulness helps to strengthen inner peace and prevent stress, foster contagious joy and an ethic of altruism, improve understanding between student and teacher, and fortify competence in educational relations.
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.
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. By exploring the challenges of teaching, Everybody Present will help all educators transform feelings of inadequacy into experiences of abundance.

Recenzii
“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!" —Diana Winston, Director of Mindfulness Education, UCLA's Mindful Awareness Research Center and author of Fully Present: The Science Art and Practice of Mindfulness

Extras
Teaching, not therapy
A further pitfall is that we treat the education relationship as if mindfulness were a therapy. The mindfulness teacher is not a therapist, and it is not the intention that mindfulness teaching should become therapy. In therapy, a person's emotional challenges are laid bare often with the primary aim that the therapist should help the person. Education is characterized, on the other hand, as a relation in which the teacher sets up possibilities for learning to talk place. If a teacher has emotional challenges it is important not to invite a confessional mood in connection with mindfulness practice. We sympathize with emotional difficulties not by commenting on them but by listening consciously without making judgements. We do not make inquiries that could be of a more therapeutic character into emotional problems.
Religion
Mindfulness is not a religion but a practice based on research. It is a universal mode for being aware in a way that everyone can practice, regardless of whether they have any religious affiliation or not. We must not blindly have faith in the practice and its effects, but trust our own experiences. In mindfulness we do not work with a super-sensible world or concept of the divine that influences our conduct.
