We explore how to end the school year with mindful intention and purpose by creating powerful rites of passage that help students recognize their growth, learn from challenges, and prepare for summer with confidence.
• Experiential mindfulness activity for you, the listener, to help all teachers acknowledge their own accomplishments, learn from challenges, and recognize personal growth
• Creating conscious endings for students that transform an academic year closing into a meaningful rite of passage
• Guiding students to re-contextualize mistakes and identify their new capabilities and responsibilities
• Helping students create summer support systems with identified go-to people for different needs (fun, advice, safety)
• Developing "streak buddies" and activity plans to maintain positive habits during unstructured summer time
• Teaching the balance of strong moral values while holding space for growth after transgressions
• Implementing simple celebration rituals that honor the journey shared between teachers and students
