   If you're unfamiliar with mindfulness this is a good read for basics and had decent tips for using mindfulness for students but the focus was more of helping the teacher have a mindful practice

   So wonderfully written that it works as a beach book! This will guide me for the rest of my career. Terrific information, great advice, and chock full of simple, practical, and eminently doable best practices. I can't wait to adopt this coming school year. This book stands on its own as some of the best professional development this veteran teacher has had.

   Dr. Jenning’s book, “Mindfulness for Teachers,” provides the framework for a new kind of teacher development which increases our focus from content and pedagogy to include personal development, self-knowledge, and mindfulness. She artfully makes the case for mindfulness in education by citing research that shows how mindfulness can impact the effectiveness of teachers and, in turn, the performance of their students. Later she makes the research come alive by showing its application in the classroom via anecdotes and stories that she’s accumulated over her many years as an educator. Her final contribution is to provide a variety of practices and resources that allow teachers to take the concepts in the book and make them real.
   
   Teaching is a complex activity that is most successful when there is a positive trust relationship between teacher and student. Dr. Jennings lays out the path to creating a classroom environment built on respect and dignity; one that inspires both teacher and student to perform at their best. “Mindfulness for Teachers” is a book that expands the conversation about good teaching and is a ‘must read’ for every educational professional.

   Patricia A. Jennings knows what she's speaking about; it can clearly be seen, she is a teacher with lots of experience. She knows the beauty as well as the difficulties in school. Underlain by lots of studies, she explains scientific researches and shows concrete pathways in order to become a still presenter and even more mindful teacher + how to bring mindfulness to kids. This is a really helpful book for all teachers and educators interested in Mindfulness. I hope it will soon stand in each school library for teachers,

   This book will be a landmark for education. As a former classroom teacher and current educator in the field of children's yoga and mindfulness, I found the book extremely useful and well written. So often teachers are given a prescription for growth that comes from people who are seemingly disconnected from what actually happens in the day to day life of a classroom. Patricia (Tish) Jennings gives educators, and teachers most notably, the sense that she understands their experience in the classroom. Through her own personal stories, thorough explanation of mindfulness and it's practical applications in the classroom, and her consistent weaving of the science behind the practice the reader is immediately compelled to a) keep reading and b) bring the mindfulness to their teaching life. I hope all teacher education programs adapt this book as part of their required reading. It has the power to help teachers find agency over their emotional lives in an extremely demanding profession and in turn help teachers bring this same empowerment to children.
