Mindfulness in Teaching Scale
The Mindfulness in Teaching Scale (MITS) is a 25-item self-report instrument measuring the degree to which educators apply mindfulness principles and practices within the teaching profession. Developed by Roeser, Schonert-Reichl, and colleagues in research evaluating mindfulness training for teacher burnout reduction, the MITS captures how teachers cultivate present-moment awareness, non-judgment, and acceptance in classroom and pedagogical contexts. The scale reflects the recognition that mindfulness is not solely a personal psychological practice but also a professional competency with direct implications for teacher well-being, classroom climate, and student engagement and outcomes.
