This course will encourage teachers to use mindfulness techniques to enhance their curriculum. Using mindfulness in the classroom can help meet the challenges of the twenty-first century. Becoming mindful will deepen knowledge and foster an environment in which the school community will become self-aware. More students than we know come to our classrooms with social and emotional deficits, trauma and behaviors that can get in the way of learning. Mindfulness practices enhances learning, helps students to better understand themselves, recognize and identify their emotions, improves their social behavior, promotes healthy development and helps them function more effectively as individuals. If we teach children how to become aware of their feelings, minds and bodies, students will be more apt to show empathy to others, make responsible decisions and develop positive relationships. Through mindfulness, we will lay the foundation for a better way to learn in a culturally responsive and loving context.

An educator's classroom includes a diverse group of pupils, which will consist of LGBTQ+ students. Families of LGBTQ+ students expect and deserve a fair and safe learning environment for their children to learn. Educators know that in order for meaningful learning to take place, all students must feel safe and supported in the school community.

There is no time like the present for educators to reflect on their role in culturally responsive teaching and use new educational technology tools to build an even stronger school community inclusive of English Language Learners and marginalized students. Students bring rich and diverse backgrounds to the classroom! Technology can be a powerful tool for transforming learning and reinventing our learning approach. It can help affirm and advance relationships between educators and students and remove the barriers to long-standing equity and accessibility gaps. Opportunities to reflect on digital tools to help adapt learning experiences to meet the needs of English Language Learners, economically disadvantaged, and other groups that have been historically underserved and marginalized will be enhanced. With equity in mind, educators can develop a climate in which students' backgrounds, experiences, and cultures are honored to build a stronger and more diverse learning community. The tools and strategies included specifically address teaching English Language Learners and marginalized students but are suited for all educators teaching grades K-12.
