Keyword: Mindfulness and Meditation

Abstract: Student absenteeism, anxiety, and political polarization have all risen sharply since the COVID-19 pandemic. Incorporating evidence-based mindfulness "micropractices" into the classroom can support student engagement and mental health with minimal use of instruction time, while also transforming the classroom into a living laboratory that demonstrates theoretical concepts and academic findings.
