Kielty, Michele L.; Gilligan, Tammy D.; Staton, A. Renee
Childhood Education, v93 n2 p128-135 2017

Whole-school approaches that involve school personnel, students, families, and local communities have been associated with positive, sustained outcomes. For mindfulness training programs to generate the most benefits, it is important to let the process unfold naturally over time, while building responsive and lasting partnerships with schools, taking into account each school's unique culture and needs.
