WHAT GRADUATES OF OUR COURSES ARE SAYING:

“Before taking this course, I thought of my students and their needs as something to fix. Now I am able to see them as whole, and we can go from there.

— Mindful Teaching participant

“After taking this course, I have a much more balanced and positive outlook, so I’m more emotionally available to support my class. I feel more loving and grateful with my students, and I’m sure they feel it too.

— Kim, 2nd Grade Teacher

This course completely opened my mind and heart. We can learn so much when we take the time to observe how we communicate with ourselves and others. I can’t think of any educator I know who I wouldn’t recommend this course to. It may seem like a challenging commitment but it is so worth taking the extra effort to nourish your livelihood and daily wellness.

— Caitlin, 1st and 2nd Grade Teacher

“I wanted to take the course so my students would be more mindful and calm, but by the end I realized that I was the one who needed to be more mindful and calm!

— Maria Paz Herrera, Youth Engagement Specialist, Latino Network
