Contemplative Education

Contemplative Education: The Art and Science of Mindful Learning
Compelling research in the fields of education, psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science suggests a positive correlation between contemplative practices and the intellectual, emotional, and psychological growth of students. In this course we will consider the art and science of mindful learning as we investigate the emerging field of contemplative education. We will look at education and learning theories that inform contemplative pedagogies in K-12 and higher education. We will also engage in contemplative practices and holistic inquiry to consider mindful learning from a personal perspective. Students will develop their own curricular models for contemplative teaching and learning.
