Mindfulness Development

Mindfulness as a focus of professional development improves the college experience by promoting strategies that help calm and focus the mind. Not only can faculty and staff benefit from mindfulness to help manage the difficulties of life and stressors of community college work, but mindfulness practices applied to instruction and student supports significantly benefit students. Research has shown that mindfulness practices facilitate a wide variety of positive learning outcomes and well-being for students, including increased attention, focus, and emotional regulation (Clarke, 2019).

All employees at MCC have access to mindfulness professional development.
