Abstract

This multiple methods pilot study aimed to determine the effects of brief mindfulness and SEL training during student teaching seminars for pre-service educators. Participants completed quantitative measures of efficacy and empathy (n = 13), contributed qualitative journal (n = 12) and session response (n = 48) data. Significant increases in teacher efficacy were found. Qualitative findings supporting this increase along with additional themes are discussed. Findings suggest that brief training in mindfulness and SEL should be included in preservice teacher training and may be a cost effective way to promote teacher well-being. Additional recommendations for practice and research are included.
