Cultivating Awareness and Resilience in Education (CARE for Teachers) is a mindfulness-based professional development program designed to reduce stress and improve teachers' performance and classroom learning environments. A randomized controlled trial examined program efficacy and acceptability among a sample of 50 teachers randomly assigned to CARE or waitlist control condition. Participants completed a battery of self-report measures at pre- and postintervention to assess the impact of the CARE program on general well-being, efficacy, burnout/time pressure, and mindfulness. Participants in the CARE group completed an evaluation of the program after completing the intervention. ANCOVAs were computed between the CARE group and control group for each outcome, and the pretest scores served as a covariate. Participation in the CARE program resulted in significant improvements in teacher well-being, efficacy, burnout/time-related stress, and mindfulness compared with controls. Evaluation data showed that teachers viewed CARE as a feasible, acceptable, and effective method for reducing stress and improving performance. Results suggest that the CARE program has promise to support teachers working in challenging settings and consequently improve classroom environments.
教育中的意识培养与适应力提升（教师关爱计划）是一项基于正念的专业发展项目，旨在减轻压力，提高教师表现及改善课堂学习环境。一项随机对照试验在50名随机分配到教师关爱计划组或等待名单控制组的教师样本中检验了该项目的效果和可接受性。参与者在干预前后完成了一系列自我报告测量，以评估教师关爱计划对总体幸福感、效能感、职业倦怠/时间压力和正念的影响。教师关爱计划组的参与者在完成干预后对该项目进行了评估。对每个结果在教师关爱计划组和对照组之间进行了协方差分析，预测试分数作为协变量。与对照组相比，参与教师关爱计划使教师的幸福感、效能感、职业倦怠/与时间相关的压力以及正念有了显著改善。评估数据表明，教师认为教师关爱计划是减轻压力和提高表现的一种可行、可接受且有效的方法。结果表明，教师关爱计划有望支持在具有挑战性环境中工作的教师，从而改善课堂环境。
