"We want to promote empathy, compassion and kindness throughout society. I hope today's debate brings us one step closer to achieving this with a modest evidence-based ask to put mindfulness onto the national curriculum for the benefit of pupils, staff and our country."

[Bedfordshire Schools Trust @BedsSchTrust]

Mindfulness leads from across BEST held their latest strategy group meeting this morning.

@AshT_PEL @BedsSchTrust @SamWhitAcademy @MiSPcharity @BedsSchsTrust It’s lovely to hear they’ve found their mindfulness so useful! I’m always encouraged hearing pupils describe the opportunities they find to use practices ourside of school.

Today is National Teaching Assistants' Day!

So we can't let it pass without saying a huge THANK YOU to each and every TA across the #BestFamily who do so much to make a difference to our children ❤️

[Geoff and Margaret @RetirementTales]

There are almost a quarter of a million teaching assistants working in UK schools. The role is broad, demanding, ever changing...unique. The work is absolutely invaluable!

Schools need them.
Teachers need them.
Children need them.

Thank you teaching assistants everywhere! ❤

[Will George @willmindfulness]

@tombennett71 What if it’s about the general disposition + attitude teachers can bring toward a challenging class?Knowing ‘needs shape behaviour’ means taking challenging bhvr less personally, responding less combatively + leaning toward compassion over judgement; better class dynamic overall?

[Will George @willmindfulness]

@ChrisLennonPR Looks great Chris!

[Alan Lee @BedsSchsTrust]

Teacher explained yesterday that every yr- for over 30 - she became poorly the first week of the summer hols. This yr however, she didn’t. The 2 #mindfulness courses she had completed @BedsSchTrust had created greater equanimity: she felt happy, peaceful + grateful @MiSPcharity
