Abstract
This chapter explored the notion that compassionate behaviors can be learned or cultivated among elementary school students through mindfulness practice in the classroom. Integral theory served as the conceptual framework for the research questions, the methodology, and the analysis. The investigation thus unfolded as a narrative inquiry using a mixed methods approach and informed by integral methodological pluralism to relate the story of one classroom. Increased self-awareness, happiness, and calm were observed in the students and teacher alike as a result of mindfulness practice. The integral analysis determined that these positive effects were persistent for all involved and pointed to the potential benefits of adopting mindfulness practice at the system level.

Chapter 5
An Integral Analysis of Teachers' Attitudes and Perspectives on the Integration of Technology in Teaching
Acronym for all quadrants, all levels, all lines, all states, all types. It is shorthand for Ken Wilber’s Integral Model, which asserts that human phenomena, to be apprehended fully, must be considered from all perspectives, as defined by the quadrants of AQAL. The quadrants describe human context. Contextual influences from the quadrants co-arise and interact with each other. The developmental component of AQAL helps to analyze the responses of individuals and groups to their environments.
