At the same time, I also saw how interested young people were to connect with others and ask questions about life. Looking for a way to start talking about these issues in school, I began studying mindfulness and how it could be offered to students.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the truth is, something happened before that. I was the one experiencing a lot of stress and social comparison. After college, I was a new teacher living by myself in a new area and trying to make sure that my friends and family perceived me as \u201csuccessful.\u201d My colleague and friend, Matt Rojahn, sensed that I was struggling and recommended the book, Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain by Sharon Begley. He had a feeling that the science behind it would keep me intrigued. Sure enough, a few months later, I took my first meditation class. I remember how novel it felt to be taking a class where the intention was to just be \u2013 to breathe, notice, and settle. I found so much leverage in becoming more aware of who I was. A year later, Matt and I began an after-school mindfulness program for students.<\/span><\/p><p><b>What was your last research study?<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My advisor, <a href=\"https:\/\/hhd.psu.edu\/contact\/robert-roeser\">Dr. Robert Roeser<\/a>, and I teamed up with our friends at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pitt.edu\/\">University of Pittsburgh<\/a> to conduct a few longitudinal studies with high schools in Pittsburgh. In our latest study, we were interested in the development of compassion and belonging in adolescence. We found that when students feel like teachers support them at the beginning of the year, they feel a stronger sense of school belonging in the middle of the year and show higher compassion at the end of the year. Put simply: When high school students receive care, they are more likely to extend care. In addition, we found that the development of compassion and belonging seem to be intertwined. For example, students who reported an increase in their sense of belonging to the school community throughout the year also reported an increase in their compassion. This is important to understand how to think at a systems-level about cultivating compassion in students.<\/span><\/p><p><b>How can mindful teaching impact student development?<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Great question. Perhaps first, we might ask: How can mindful teaching impact teacher development? High school students are keenly aware of people\u2019s intentions; they can sense a fraud in a heartbeat. When a teacher wants to explore how mindful teaching can impact their students, I always encourage them to explore mindfulness for themselves first. See if it feels authentic and meaningful for them, and then invite them to consider how it can impact their students and classroom environment.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My advisor developed a mindful teaching model around the qualities of \u201ccalm, clear, and kind,\u201d inspired by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindandlife.org\/\">Mind & Life<\/a> conference around contemplative education. In one study, we found that high school students who see their teachers demonstrating these qualities show improvements in these same qualities. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mindful teachers might help create mindful students.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is usually the moment when someone asks, \u201cOk, but did these qualities also improve the students\u2019 grades?\u201d And I know that\u2019s important. But honestly, let\u2019s make sure they are taking care of themselves and each other, too.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-18fe87e3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"18fe87e3\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-68e2ecd1\" data-id=\"68e2ecd1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f328c21 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7f328c21\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/scienceofmindfulness.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Courage_of_Care_retreat_in_Seattle_WA_Summer_2019_v2-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-2662\" alt=\"interview with blake Colaianne\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scienceofmindfulness.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Courage_of_Care_retreat_in_Seattle_WA_Summer_2019_v2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scienceofmindfulness.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Courage_of_Care_retreat_in_Seattle_WA_Summer_2019_v2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/scienceofmindfulness.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Courage_of_Care_retreat_in_Seattle_WA_Summer_2019_v2.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Courage of Care Retreat in Seattle, WA - 2019<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-11a0bb01 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"11a0bb01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Mindful teachers might help create mindful students.”<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-11a26d44 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"11a26d44\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-65275fbb\" data-id=\"65275fbb\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42733d4a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"42733d4a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>How might school climates also impact student development?<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the heart of it. We spend so much time building individual skills that we often forget how much a person\u2019s environment influences their behavior. In fact, in the study I just described above, we found that teachers who were perceived as \u201ccalm, clear, and kind\u201d created an <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">environment<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> conducive to fulfilling the needs of adolescents (autonomy, competence, social connection). It seems this kind of environment provided a supportive \u201cfit\u201d that led to an increase in students\u2019 mindfulness and compassion. This is all rooted in stage-environment fit theory, developed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faculty.uci.edu\/profile.cfm?faculty_id=5971\">Dr. Jacquelynne Eccles<\/a>. Dr. Eccles was my advisor\u2019s advisor, so this view has really impacted my academic perspective.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Do you think there are good interventions designed for improving mindful teaching and supportive school communities? What are some of the primary barriers to implementing these types of programs?<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, and there\u2019s a lot of evidence to support this. But there\u2019s much more work that needs to be done before we start providing it to the masses. There are several studies on mindfulness programs, but I think we get so caught up in the classic pre\/post statistical changes in desirable outcomes that we forget to fully explore whether the program was implemented well.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is there a sense of trust between the researchers and the school community? Is there a commitment to finding time to teach and merge it with the million other state requirements? Does the program teach the content in a way that honors teachers\u2019 and students\u2019 identities? Are we teaching concepts that matter to teachers and young people in a way that meets them where they are?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many barriers, but not impossible to overcome. So, I believe there are contemplative practices and programs that can bring an enormous amount of relief and joy to teachers and students (I\u2019ve seen it happen many times). But I also think we need to move forward carefully.<\/span><\/p><p><b>What is the Art and Science of Human Flourishing course that you’ve been co-developing with your colleagues?<\/b><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.psu.edu\/story\/576934\/2019\/06\/06\/academics\/course-art-and-science-human-flourishing-expanding-7-campuses\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Art and Science of Human Flourishing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a new course for undergraduates that we\u2019ve been designing and studying here at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psu.edu\/\">Penn State<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisc.edu\/\">University of Wisconsin-Madison<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.virginia.edu\/\">University of Virginia<\/a>. It\u2019s truly been a team effort. I\u2019ve had the opportunity to teach the course and help design and conduct the research around it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The course presents a model for flourishing that cultivates skills of awareness and compassion while also instilling the wisdom of what it means to live a meaningful life. In addition to the lectures, students participate in a weekly \u201cmeditation lab,\u201d where they learn a different practice each week and discuss the week\u2019s topics. We\u2019ve collected data at all three universities across a few semesters now. Through quasi-experimental trials, we\u2019ve shown that the course has a positive impact on flourishing skills and perspectives (like attention, self-compassion, shared humanity), which is really exciting.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I talk with the students, they say they like the course because it\u2019s just so different from what they\u2019re used to. Young people want to explore and question life. We pull from many fields (psychology, philosophy, art) in hopes of providing them with all sorts of possible answers. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the end, students realize that there isn\u2019t a set \u201crecipe\u201d for flourishing. But being open to the journey, and desiring to bring others along with you, just might be enough.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a22d44e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a22d44e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"262\" src=\"https:\/\/scienceofmindfulness.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mindfulness_booth_at_Penn_State_Arts_Fest_in_Summer_2019_v2-300x262.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-2663\" alt=\"science of mindfulness interview with blake Colaianne\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scienceofmindfulness.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mindfulness_booth_at_Penn_State_Arts_Fest_in_Summer_2019_v2-300x262.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scienceofmindfulness.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mindfulness_booth_at_Penn_State_Arts_Fest_in_Summer_2019_v2.jpg 664w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Mindfulness Booth at Penn State Arts Fest in Summer 2019<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37d4aefc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"37d4aefc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“In the end, students realize that there isn\u2019t a set \u201crecipe\u201d for flourishing.

We assessed program implementation and pre\/post\/follow-up impact at one high school. The program was based on the framework of<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/courageofcare.org\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Courage of Care<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is an incredible non-profit that merges contemplative training with social activism. The high school program aims to cultivate skills of compassion for the self and others and to realize the bridge between these two kinds of care.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This approach makes this training so unique \u2013 while most mindfulness programs for youth focus almost entirely on self-care, this program sends the message that the way we care for ourselves is rooted in the way we care for others and vice versa. It\u2019s not just \u201cmy story, my struggle,\u201d it\u2019s \u201cour story, our struggle.\u201d At least, I can tell you that one of the most common pieces of feedback I got was that the program made students feel \u201cnot alone.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><b>What are your aspirations for how your body of work will impact the field of contemplative sciences?<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My goal is to advance current frameworks for school-based mindfulness programs, focusing primarily on individual outcomes, by including more relational-oriented skills. Reducing stress and mental health difficulties is certainly important, but I think we\u2019re missing a key reason for those struggles: a young person\u2019s social sphere. Also, we know that adolescents seek the need for self-transcendence \u2013 to be part of something beyond themselves and contribute to their communities. I think contemplative practices can help fulfill these needs, but it doesn\u2019t stop at the word \u201cmindfulness.\u201d Adolescence is a perfect opportunity to talk about compassion, empathy, systems-thinking, and what it means to belong. I hope to help steer contemplative education programs in that direction.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-38825ad8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"38825ad8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"189\" src=\"https:\/\/scienceofmindfulness.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Art_and_Science_of_Human_Flourishing_v2-300x189.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-2661\" alt=\"interview with blake coltrane\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scienceofmindfulness.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Art_and_Science_of_Human_Flourishing_v2-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scienceofmindfulness.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Art_and_Science_of_Human_Flourishing_v2.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Students provided hashtags for The Art and Science of Human Flourishing course at Penn State. <\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18127f8f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"18127f8f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“The high school program aims to cultivate skills of compassion for the self and others and to realize the bridge between these two kinds of care.”<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-64a1041 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"64a1041\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1a8dfa74\" data-id=\"1a8dfa74\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d83f844 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"7d83f844\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7114218c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7114218c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Enjoy?
