Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss the theory and guiding principles underlying heuristic methodology as enacted in our educational practice. Our work focuses on the promotion of teacher | student wellbeing as a function of the relational nature of education. We describe our emerging understandings that stem from the manner in which we implement heuristics in a graduate-level teacher education course. We also present our nascent approach to implementing heuristic methodology in a high school setting. We find that heuristics may prove effective in the development of more mindful dispositions by mediating heightened awareness of being in the present moment and improved quality of our empathic connections. An enhanced quality of awareness and connections (each a constituent of wellbeing) may catalyze more compassionate interactions in classrooms and beyond. When used consistently, heuristics have a transformative potential to assist in shifting educational priorities from the neoliberal focus on competitive individualism and systemic oppression of accountability to cultivating collective empowerment, sustainable wellness, and embodied mindfulness for harmonious coexistence.
