In our work with teachers at every stage of their careers, we have found that writing can be a tool for mindful engagement. Here, we present two examples of strategies for mindful writing. Teachers with whom we have engaged activities like these tell us that one thing mindful, brief writing experiences can do for them is to slow down time. The teaching day, week, and school year are packed with more interactions than one can process. Each moment is so rapidly superseded by another equally urgent moment that it can be hard to experience any one moment at all. What writing can do is, just for a brief period, allow us to be all in one place.
