Partin  \nUniversity of Tennessee, Knoxville  \nResearch regarding the practice of leaders’ mindfulness has increased over the past several years. Emphasis on principals’ mindfulness practices helped educational leaders become stronger during these uncertain and stressful times. Specifically, researching how principals use mindfulness in a school setting advances educational leadership by exploring this relationship. This systematic review aimed to understand how principals use mindful practices in their schools and relationships with their stakeholders. Attributes of mindfulness used in their leadership practices were explored to influence ways to enhance educational leadership training. Fourteen peer-reviewed research studies from 2010-2021 were reviewed. There were five key themes identified related to a principal’s use of mindfulness: (a) school organization,(b) decision-making,(c) well-being, (d) leadership attributes, and (e) student success. This article concluded by discussing the key findingsand suggestions to guide future research on principals’ mindfulness.  \nKeywords: well-being, mindfulness, principal, organizational trust, decision-making  \nEducation Leadership Review, Volume 23, Number 1, Fall 2022 1  \nOver the past few decades, the term “mindfulness” has become well-known in various aspects of society. New mindfulness-based mobile apps such as Headspace and Fitbit’s new Mindful Method program help individuals pursue the benefits of mindful living and practices. Mindfulness is the cultivation of the ability to pay attention to the present moment non-judgmentally, be selfaware, observe, and accept one’s unaltered thoughts, sensations, and emotions (Day & Gregory, 2017) . Research specific to the practice of leader mindfulness has increased over the past ten years. Professional fields across disciplines have implemented mindfulness-based stress reduction programs to help leaders face difficult decisions (Mahfouz, 2018; Wells, 2013) . This trend has also seen an increased emphasis on school principals. Schools have faced uncertain times due to Covid, accountability, and the need for trauma-informed pedagogy and practice (Huber & Helm, 2020) . However, to date, education research has not focused on how mindfulness might advance and strengthen education leadership in relation to stakeholders (Brion & Gullo, 2020; Hoy et al., 2006: Mahfouz & Richardson, 2020) . Therefore, this study aimed to understand how principals might use mindful practices in their schools and in their relationships with stakeholders.  \nEducational administrative decision-making requires more than the mechanical application of existing rules and regulations at various school and school-related policies (Hoy et al., 2006) . School leaders’ duties consist of complex decisions and thoughtful processes rather than merely possessing and carrying out specific technical tasks to ensure effective and efficient organizational operations management (Sergiovanni, 2009) . Twenty-first-century K-12 principals are expected to make high-level professional decisions and respond to difficult, sometimes tense situations throughout the school year. The following systematic review examined the literature on how the use of mindfulness by principals influenced their daily practice. The research question guiding the study was as follows: What does the research in the last ten years find about principals’ use of mindfulness?  \nMethods  \nResearch material included in this study focused on principals’ use of mindfulness in a school setting. The review included scholarly peer-reviewed articles from 2010-2021 and seminal works related to educational leaders’ decision-making and mindfulness. In this study, administrators included principals who work in urban, suburban, and rural geographic areas, serving students from diverse racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic neighborhoods.
