Mindfulness
o Our thoughts and perceptions, if negative, reinforce emotions that can cause suffering
o Thoughts are most often about the past or future
o The one moment we actually can experience “the present moment” is the one we seem most to avoid

Educational “Standards”
o For students to successfully meet “Standards”, they must possess social-emotional skills
oUnless students come to school with all these skills in place, deliberate teaching of these skills is necessary
