Ideas worth spreading

Steven Thurston Oliver • TEDxSalemStateUniversity

Contemplative Pedagogy & the Journey of Becoming

We are living in a time when technology is fragmenting our attention and the ability to engage deeply with new and important ideas both in and out of the classroom. Contemplative pedagogy is a tool that can be used to cultivate critical awareness, clarity, and presence, and enhance our capacity to show up for ourselves and others.
