Description
Classroom management is a difficult challenge that teachers face today. Published literature has included research regarding active and mindfulness classroom breaks. The literature review will define the two types of breaks most often used, then discuss similarities and differences between them, the effectiveness of each, and teacher/student perceptions of them. Implications for school psychologists and teachers will be discussed. Graduate students, trainers, and practitioners will benefit by learning about implementing breaks as classroom management strategies.
