In our second episode, NYKids Research Assistants Jessie Tobin and Paul Guay talk with Dr. Deborah Schussler, professor in the Department of Educational Policy and Leadership at the University of Albany, SUNY about mindfulness and how it’s application can improve the well-being of teachers and students.
