摘要
A teacher training program uses Buddhist meditation practices to help teachers become more sensitive, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and focused in the classroom. This is done primarily through contemplative observation, which develops teachers' awareness and understanding of the classroom, the students, and themselves. By observing, listening, and being sensitive to our feelings and senses, we can better understand our students' needs. Contemplative observation wakes us up to the sacredness of everyday learning and, as such, creates environments that foster student learning and growth.
