A2: #Mindfulness can create purpose, increase productivity, and improve happiness...for teachers and students. #MichEd

A3: #Mindfulness can be sprinkled into daily routines...or taught explicitly to students. Probably best to do both. #miched

A4: One misconception about #mindfulness is that young people can't do it. I know they can. My 9-year old son recently mentinoned a mindfulness lesson he had at school 6 months ago. #MichEd

A5: A short #mindfulness exercise always prepares me to enjoy myself. #miched

A6: Since the pandemic started, I have had less phone time, less news, and less work with more mindfulness, more exercise, and more family time. And I'm generally quite content. #miched

My colleague Matt Vriesman has created some awesome lesson plans for teaching AP US History with an antiracist lens. Please share this with the history teachers in your school. #BLM #BlackLivesMatter #APUSH antiracistapush.com
