Bella T. Wong Bulletin #21
Superintendent of Schools February 12, 2010
The Superintendent’s Bulletin is posted weekly on Fridays on our website. It provides timely, relevant
information about meetings, professional development opportunities, curriculum and program development,
grant awards, and school committee news. The bulletin is also the official vehicle for job postings. Please
read the bulletin regularly and use it to inform colleagues of meetings and other school news.
Dear Colleagues,
I always find that the school week before February vacation is highly stressful. To manage the
stress, I have deferred items in my to do pile for next week, when it will be "quiet" and there will
be no meetings. As the pile of "to do’s" gets higher, I realize that only in my dreams surrounded
by magic elves will this work get done! When I was growing up my father used to say, "Don't do
as I do but do as I say." Hmm. That didn't work for me then either. So I will make the pile
smaller and say to you as much as to myself, “Enjoy the break, take time to indulge and refresh.”

Teaching and learning is multi-dimensional and requires constant vigilance to attend to curriculum pressures
and diverse individual needs. Mindfulness is an amazing tool that can be used at virtually any time and can
bring measurable benefits into the classroom for teachers and students alike. Documented benefits of
Mindfulness include increased •emotional regulation •social skills •ability to orient attention •working memory
and planning and organization, increased self esteem, increased sense of calmness, relaxation, self
acceptance, •quality of sleep, and decreased •test anxiety •ADHD behaviors, specifically hyperactivity and
impulsivity •negative affect/ emotions •anxiety •depression, and fewer conduct and anger management
problems. These benefits directly correlate to productive instructional practices, student-teacher relationships,
and classroom resilience.
Book Study: Using as a study guide Mindful Teaching and Teaching Mindfulness (2009), A guide for
Anyone Who Teaches Anything, by Deborah Schoeberlein, participants will explore mindfulness techniques
to use personally as well as in their classrooms. Each study group class period will include open discussion
and sharing, mindfulness practice, and a 'mindful' activity. Participants should purchase the book prior to the
first meeting Feb. 24 (approx. $11. on Amazon.com)
Facilitators Laura Palin and Lynne Johnson, WMS staff, recently participated in the “Educating World
Citizens for the 21st Century” conference Oct 2009 sponsored by Mind and Life Institute, Boulder, CO
