Abstract
The prevalence of teacher stress is real and is currently at the forefront of recent research and studies. Stress has impacted teachers who are employed at Woodrow Wilson Elementary located in Newton, Iowa. There are ways to deal with stress and one of those ways would be implementing mindfulness exercises. This school improvement plan would implement mindfulness exercise training for teachers during the 2023-2024 school year. A teacher stress survey would be given before implementing the training, and the same survey would be given at the completion of the training. A reflection will be administered to determine if teachers feel like they will use mindfulness exercises in the future.
