Abstract
There is a critical need to create a shift in curriculum that is framed around the whole person rather than isolating a pre-service teacher’s development solely to theory, content, and skills. This paper explores ways to promote citizenship, sustain preservice teacher wholeness and wellbeing, and examine preservice teacher perceptions of spirituality and mindfulness.
