In Raising Resilience for Educators, Dr. Willard offers tools for creating schools with healthier and more empowered teachers and students. He shares exercises for cultivating a classroom that promotes virtues such as generosity, kindness, honesty, determination, and patience. He will also guide the audience through multiple mindfulness experiences that can be applied to a school setting such as mindful breathing and listening. Participants will learn about the neuroscience supporting mindfulness and how it strengthens the “executive decision-making” area of the brain and lessens the influence of the “fight or flight” response. Dr. Willard speaks globally about mindfulness, and presents an inspiring vision that is both fun and engaging. Educational leaders from across Dallas will share their experience with integrating mindfulness into their schools. Dr. Christopher Willard, (PsyD) is a renowned author, international speaker, and Harvard Medical School lecturer on mindfulness and psychology. He is the author of many books including Growing Up Mindful (2016) and, the soon to be released, Raising Resilience (2017). He currently serves on the board of directors at the Institute for Meditation and Psychotherapy and is the President of the Mindfulness in Education Network.
