Teacher Educators are instructed on how to bring practices of mindfulness and applied ethics into their own lives, so they may in turn share these practices with colleagues and students in their school communities. Several such programs are taking place in different countries, and enjoy significant popularity.
The links below give details on how these programs have proved to be successful.

Sri Lanka is heading in the same direction, where the Sati Pasela program is expanding out-reach and will be sharing mindfulness practice, compassion and ethical behaviors with school teachers. The teacher educators program will become a national effort with the Ministry of Education taking a lead role in this new initiative planned for 2017.
