This book describes how practices of mindfulness significantly contribute to teacher professional development by increasing educators’ sense of well-being, collegiality, and connection with each other. It will guide other educators to incorporate mindfulness into their professional learning.

A Mindful Teaching Community: Possibilities for Teacher Professional Learningdescribes a grassroots professional learning journey wherein a group of practicing classroom teachers researches their teaching practices and the role of mindfulness in their learning. Using a mix of methods, this book illustrates how the storiesof an educator can be uncovered, investigated, and transformed through practicing mindfulness within a community. Through the stories told in this collection the teachers learn to see greater connections between their individual ways of thinking, their actions, and the greater system they live and work in. The storied inquiry of the educators offers unique possibilities for teachers’ professional learning.

Kelly Hanson is doctoral student at the University of British Columbia.
