Summary

While mindfulness may feel like the new hotness, is there anything in the research that supports its effectiveness in improving classroom behavior? This week we stop our deep breathing exercises to discuss just what makes mindfulness so popular, whether the results match the increased fervor, and whether behavior analysts should be paying attention.

If you enjoy this week’s episode on mindfulness, keep an eye on your feed for a bonus episode coming out later this month with the authors of one of the mindfulness curricula that we discuss!
