What people are saying
Real reviews from teachers who have taken the course and are making a difference in the lives of children! You can too!
Melanie's slice of mindfulness is exactly what you think, a small slice of practical ways to implement or fit mindfulness into your daily life or classroom. Small yet consistent changes make a world of a difference especially when it comes to your mental health. Many of us dedicate an hour a day to support our physical health by going to the gym etc.., but fail to just spend 10 minutes caring for our minds.
NY
This course was extremely beneficial for my craft of work in the health classroom and in the gymnasium. I was able to internalize a lot of key points that were made in this class and then transfer them the next day in my classes. It really has opened my perspective and approach to different situations day-to-day whether it be teaching or in my own personal life.
NY
Melanie’s course provided me with several tools and explanations to support my students through their emotions, as well as ones that would work for myself! This has already helped me in working with students who have a defeated outlook on their courses and work to create a growth mindset as we move forward together.
NY
A wonderful course about being mindful. Numerous useful strategies not only for your students, but also of yourself and your own feelings.
NY
I found the Mental Health Literacy course on mindfulness with Melanie from Slice of Mindfulness to be both engaging and highly relevant to my work. I gained a deeper understanding of the Standards for Social and Emotional expectations for our students and walked away with practical strategies and meaningful materials that I can immediately apply. Melanie’s genuine passion for the content and her care for both educators and students were evident throughout the entire course. The structure was easy to navigate independently and manageable to complete on my own time, making it both impactful and accessible. I would highly recommend this course to any educator looking to strengthen their understanding of mindfulness and student mental health.
