In this inaugural episode of The Sneaker Principal podcast I introduce you to Dave Beal, Program Director and  Head National Trainer for Brain Power Wellness. I have had the privilege of working with Dave in embedding physical and mental brain breaks, mindfulness practices, and social emotional wellness strategies that support a positive classroom atmosphere in two schools that I have lead as principal. My relationship with Dave and Brain Power Wellness was further deepened through his work with the Gray Fellowship for Principal Excellence of which I am a member of its first cohort. Through his work with fellowship of 20 New York City principals I have adopted tools to create a sustainable, healthy, happy and focused school environment. I hope that our conversation provides a starting point for teachers, parents, and school administrators to introduce wellness and mindfulness practices into their school communities.
