63: Hacking School Discipline: How to Throw Out Detention and Other Lame Punishments
Mark Barnes explains how one Baltimore school repurposed and rebranded its detention room, turning it into a Mindful Moment Room, dramatically impacting schoolwide student behavior and almost magically making suspensions disappear. In Episode 63 of the Hack Learning Podcast, Mark explains how meditation, specifically mindfulness, calms students and helps them focus less on chaos and more on learning. In the What You Can Do Tomorrow segment, Mark explains how to learn practical meditation techniques, recommends powerful resources, and shares his own experience with meditation, which reduced anxiety and helped this veteran educator better cope with his own student behavior issues.For more about mindfulness and meditation resources, visit Episode 63 at http://hacklearningpodcast.com.This is Hacking School Discipline.Check out our sponsor, Kiddom, and learn how to empower your students for free.
