“I’ve come to a frightening conclusion that I’m the decisive element in the classroom. It’s my personal approach that creates the climate. It’s my daily mood that makes the weather… it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated.”

All our professional learning programmes are comprised of 60 to 90 minute Modules that become available weekly which include:

Research and evidence
Inspiring videos
Guided experiential practices
Reflection exercises
Additional optional resources for further professional enquiry
An online community with over 2000 active contributors for on-going peer-to-peer support
Online drop-in support sessions. You can view our 2022 Support Schedule here
Sharing of best practice, emerging ideas and approaches that embrace diversity
Wellbeing activities underpinned with SHANARRI indicators (Scotland) / Four Purposes (Wales)

A fundamental part of both programmes occurs in between the time spent on these weekly modules when educators engage in experiential learning practices.

On completion of these prerequisite programmes, education professionals will have confidence to build on their own learned experience to deliver our Do-BeMindful programmes for Early Years, Primary and Secondary learners.

“A thought provoking programme which encourages self-reflection and growth for teachers, as well as providing practical tools for use in the classroom.”

Teacher, Hallglen Primary School, Falkirk, Scotland

“The Do-BeMindful Foundation Programme helped me to feel calmer and take a bit of self-care when I wasn’t having any. I have realised that to be a better mum/wife/teacher I need to give time and space to myself and not just to those I care for.”

Teacher, Llanfoist Fawr Primary, Monmouthshire, Wales

“This programme is very well-structured and insightful. It has the power to change the way in which we see ourselves and the world around us and make sense of abstract concepts.”

Teacher, Llantilio Pertholey Primary School, Monmouthshire, Wales
