Introduction to Online Courses

The courses listed below are offered online through the Center for Mindful Inquiry. Each of these courses integrates the theory and practice of mindfulness and a variety of ways to apply them to daily life and professional contexts.

Using Moodle conferencing, students have 24/7 access to the course they have enrolled in for the duration of the course. Students have the ability to ask the teacher questions on a regular basis and to talk about mindfulness practice, readings and their applications to daily life and work contexts in small discussion groups.

Principles and Practices of Mindful Leadership

February 6, 2012 - March 16, 2012
As a teacher, teacher educator, or administrator, it is important to develop personal internal skills that translate into successful interpersonal skills on the job. Mindful leadership introduces a new approach to leadership development that focuses on how a leader works in the moment. This course introduces participants to ten core principles and to three mindfulness practices that help leaders bring out the best in themselves and others.

This was my first online course of this kind and I felt like I was “heard into speech.”  It truly has helped me in ways far beyond my teaching.
