It is often overlooked that the educationists who strive to shape the lives of students, face extreme
stress and burnt outs. Teaching is a demanding and challenging profession, to keep up with the needs and requirements of different students, to ensure the results are best for everyone; it takes a lot from a teacher’s mind and space.Research has found that Mindfulness can bring calm and balance to the overwhelmed minds of teachers. A new study from the University of Virginia provides strong evidence that mindfulness training for teachers can help them cope better with stress on the job while also making the classroom environment more productive for learning.
