Improving Behavior By Implementing In-School Meditation/Mindfulness Interventions.

An observational study in a Baltimore County Middle School assessed the use of mindfulness activities in classrooms. The observer created an observation sheet to record whether mindfulness interventions were being implemented and to measure their effect on student behavior. The study aimed to determine if these interventions could reduce negative behavior. The text reports no specific findings or numbers, only that research in this area should continue.
