Modern Mindfulness for Schools
Mindfulness is a universal human capacity that can be strengthened through practice.
What would happen if an entire city practiced mindfulness? To answer this question, the Vermont Community Foundation awarded Modern Mindfulness an Innovations and Collaborations Grant to teach and integrate mindfulness into the core city institutions of Winooski. Including the entire school district, police department, city council and counselling services.
It’s quick! The interactive program guides students in daily five minute mindfulness exercises.
It’s easy! We train teachers in exactly what they need to know so they can start right away.
It’s effective! Disciplinary referrals at Smilie Elementary dropped from 125 to 42 after using the program for one year.
Modmind is an interactive online program and teacher training that has proven to be a breakthrough approach to strengthen executive functioning skills resulting in a focused and relaxed student.
Our program, Modern Mindfulness, was designed in collaboration with Vermont public school teachers and students to ensure successful outcomes and easy implementation.
A successful mindfulness program should show positive results within a year.
