Product reviews for The Mindful Teacher's Handbook

Natalie Chyba, Deputy Principal and Well-Being Lead, Howell’s School, Llandaff

As the well-being imperative in schools and colleges grows ever more urgent, The Mindful Teacher's Handbook has to be a go-to resource for anyone in education who wants to thrive in their role and take meaningful well-being practice in schools to a new and necessary level. Kamalagita acts as our guide as she thoughtfully explores and connects the science, practice and benefits of mindfulness, sharing clear strategies and exercises that are both teacher-friendly and supported by engaging discussions.

Kamalagita knows first-hand the influence those in education can have on young minds and argues that if we want to equip our children so that they develop essential life skills for mental health, they need to be in learning environments with adults who prioritise their own well-being.

From checking in on your ‘internal weather’ to managing the stress of inspections, Kamalagita tackles the challenges faced by teachers in a clear and practical way so that anyone, whether they are new to mindfulness or experienced, will find something to nurture and boost their personal and professional life.

If you are a teacher and you're wading through a long list of must-read educational books, documents and initiatives to be the best teacher you can for yourself and your students, put this book on the top of your pile and start here.
