REFLECTION / IMPACT

Classroom Use: Higher student engagement during transitions and improved ability to name and manage emotions over time.

What I Learned: Mindfulness isn’t a one-size-fits-all tool — embedding it meaningfully requires sensitivity to classroom culture and flexibility in delivery.
