Description

The Five Cs of Nurturing Heart Centered Learning – Community – Courage – Confidence – Compassion – Consciousness

Build a thriving school community that creates healthy, resilient and successful students. A companion to Mindfulness Practices, this research-backed guide outlines how to teach self-regulation by fostering the five Cs of
social-emotional learning and mindfulness: The authors provide a wealth of practical exercises, strategies and tools to bring this scientifically proven approach to life across grade levels and subject areas.

Schools that are compassionate, caring and community-centred create healthier, more successful students. As such, in Mindful School Communities, the authors offer an in-depth guide to the five Cs:

  1. Consciousness
  2. Compassion
  3. Confidence
  4. Courage
  5. Community

All built on a wealth of research, including an original, tested tool that assesses a school’s efforts toward compassionate action.

  • Discover historical examples of consciousness, compassion, confidence, courage and community with ideas for incorporating them into classwork
  • Become familiar with different ways educators have implemented Heart Centered Learning in their schools and classrooms
  • Work with numerous exercises, activities, strategies and mindsets that mix vulnerability and strength and ameliorate trauma
  • Learn ways to assess the five Cs factors, including the research-based S-CCATE, to provide evidence for what might seem unquantifiable
