Mindful Model of Teaching and Leadership

Integrative Practices which align Professional Self-care, Mindful Teaching and Mindful Educational Leadership

What are the Integrative Practices Supported by the Network

They are the same as the 8 wisdom-based self-care practices, adapted to teaching and leading more mindfully, underpinned by contemporary leadership and pedagogical theory: (1) Redirecting Motivation, (2) Transforming Emotions, (3) Living Ethically, (4) Training Attention, (5) Refining Awareness, (6) Cultivating Wisdom, (7) Serving Others, and (8) Leaving a Sustainable Legacy. We call them integrative practices because they combine care for our own wellbeing with a contemplative and compassionate approach to teaching and learning …and likewise mindful management and leadership.

Mindful Mentoring’s model of holistic integration enables us to support one another in applying the practices to our teaching in the classroom and our leadership for learning in a way which is consistent with our wellbeing and mental health. In this way our grounding in peer-support and patterns of adult development enables us to live out a synthesis  of  self-care, pedagogy and leadership which benefits education as a whole.
