Summary
This study tests whether an 8-week mindfulness course can improve mental well-being and teaching skills in 160 Chinese teachers. Participants will learn mindfulness techniques and researchers will measure changes in stress, anxiety, and classroom effectiveness. The goal is to see if this simple practice can make teaching less stressful and more effective.
