James Butler, Austin ISD SEL Mindfulness Specialist & 2014 Austin ISD Teacher of the Year, joins Candace and Cuitlahuac to lead a moment of mindfulness and anchors that experience for a conversation about the importance of mindfulness and how its practiced in the district. The group discusses how mindfulness fits in with current school discipline practices, and James takes a moment to reflect on his journey as an anti-racist educator.
