Mindful Life Project measures impact in a multilayered approach of using student data, teacher survey data and social emotional learning metrics. Three of our main measurements we use are the following: 1. Decreased suspensions at each school site a. Our goal is to decrease suspensions by 35 percent for first year schools, 50 percent for second year schools and 60 percent for year three schools. The goal for schools with over three years of Mindful Life Project programming is to experience the same data as the previous year, or steady improvements. This will be measured by collecting and analyzing suspension data from our various school partners and partner districts. 2. Increased quality teaching time a. Our goal is to increase quality teaching time by 20 minutes per day for classroom teachers. We measure this through our annual teacher survey data. In this survey there is a section in which teachers can give us feedback around gains they’ve had in the classroom since incorporating MLP and mindfulness into their weekly schedule. 3. Improved student social-emotional skills a. Our goal is that 80 percent of teachers observe student demonstrations of social-emotional skills. This is also measured through our end of the year teacher survey. This survey will offer an opportunity for teachers to assess their classroom culture and the shifts in their student’s social emotional learning skills since integrating mindfulness into their classroom’s weekly schedule.
