Teach . b Mindfulness in Schools Teachers Training Course
20-23th October, 2014: Three BMHA members (KC Chiang, Dr. Phang, Jasmine Chiam) attended the Teach .b Mindfulness in Schools Teachers Training Course in Phuket, Thailand. The course cum meditation retreat was held in Phuket International Academy (PIA), an international school that integrates mindfulness and social emotional learning in its curriculum. With the four-day training, we now have more certified teachers to deliver mindfulness training to adolescents in Malaysia using the . b model. In .b program, mindfulness is taught using secular, short, and simple methods. Led by James Gibb and his team, step-by-step instructions were given to deliver nine mindful-based lessons in classroom. The video clips, classroom activities and pedagogical discussion are all indeed very useful. Hopefully more Malaysians could be trained to teach .b program in the future.
