Attention
Numerous studies show improved attention, including better performance on objective tasks that measure attention.

Mindfulness is associated with emotion regulation across a number of studies. Mindfulness creates changes in the brain that correspond to less reactivity, and better ability to engage in tasks even when emotions are activated.
Compassion

Evidence Of The Benefits Of Mindfulness In Education
Mindfulness with Teachers
When teachers learn mindfulness, they not only reap personal benefits such as reduced stress and burnout15 but their schools do as well. In randomized controlled trials, teachers who learned mindfulness reported greater efficacy in doing their jobs16and had more emotionally supportive classrooms17 and better classroom organization18 based on independent observations.
Mindfulness with Students
Studies find that youth benefit from learning mindfulness in terms of improved cognitive outcomes, social-emotional skills, and well being. In turn, such benefits may lead to long-term improvements in life. For example, social skills in kindergarten predict improved education, employment, crime, substance abuse and mental health outcomes in adulthood.
