Maggie and Casey Buchanan, JCCC Counselor, presented their work on mindfulness and dental hygiene students at the Fall 2016 Professional Development Days. Casey has studied Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction extensively and collaborated with Maggie to incorporate mindfulness into her courses. In DHYG 135 Dental Materials (Fall), Maggie introduces the growth mindset. She revisits growth mindset through journal entries, lab reports, and discussion throughout the semester. In Spring’s DHYG 140 Clinic II, Maggie continues working on mindfulness with the same group of students. Together with Casey, she incorporates reading, discussion, and guided meditation on a weekly basis with students. Two years of survey responses and data comparison from pre- and post- Mindfulness Awareness Scales indicate students have more focus and sense of well-being.
