Nova Southeastern University Online Master’s in Teaching & Learning
One of the things we as a society expect schools to do is help children learn how to live in the world and thrive. Schools in the USA where made to create a malleable workforce. Back in the days where factory jobs were the most common jobs schools seemed to mirror them. Workers at stations doing the same thing day in and out working to the sound of the bell so too did students work at desks day in and out moving to the sound of the bell.
Over the years our work force has changed and schools are trying to catch up. We have to teach students how to be adaptable and to expect to switch careers in their lives, unlike their grandparents. The struggles are different. That is one of the reasons I am so glad to hear about Mindfulness in Education and helping to teach children how to deal with what is in front of them and the changes that come that sometimes bring anxiety and even depression. I will be looking into this program for homeschool applications too!
