If your place on a Teach dots<\/strong> course is going to be funded by your school, setting or other organisation, we recommend you make this clear to them before enrolling for this course.

Particularly when working with younger children, it is important that the dots<\/strong> teacher is known to the children.<\/p>\n View the full course prerequisites<\/a> before applying.<\/p>\n This course is available as a live online course over 4-days or 8 sessions of two hours each\u00a0 \u2013 check our course schedule<\/a>\u00a0for upcoming courses.<\/p>\n This live online course costs \u00a3620.<\/p>\n This course meets the conditions of an exempt supply of education provided by an eligible body and therefore is exempt from VAT.<\/p>\n You will also receive 6-months complimentary membership to our Trained Teacher Hub.<\/p>\n Discounts for group bookings may be available.

Teachers of mindfulness need to be able to model what they are teaching, and to understand and relate directly and empathically to experiences their students may be having from a solid base in their own life. (Similarly, you would not expect a teacher who had never been in water to teach swimming effectively!)<\/p>\n* Crane, Rebecca S, Willem Kuyken, J Mark G Williams, Richard P Hastings, Lucinda Cooper, and Melanie J V Fennell. \u201cCompetence in Teaching Mindfulness-Based Courses: Concepts, Development and Assessment.\u201d Mindfulness 3.1 (2012): 76-84.
