The Resilient Educator is a powerful, highly relevant training program that helps educators boost performance, improve school relationships, and strengthen resiliency. Acclaimed by educators for its new ideas and solid foundation in neuroscience, the program's proven techniques are easy to learn and help rekindle educators' motivation and energy. Drawing on the Institute of HeartMath's fifteen years of scientific research, this training engages educators through its timely, practical, research-based approach.
Have you noticed that today it takes more energy and stamina to teach successfully? Whether it's mastering new subject matter, addressing diverse student needs, implementing assessments, learning new technology, maintaining classroom order, managing time, or making sure all students learn, the demands on teachers and administrators are increasing in number and intensity.
The toll from these expectations can lead to costly early retirement, lower morale, and diminished job satisfaction. To stay the course in today's educational climate, educators need new skills and strategies to be effective and resilient.
New research has found a strong correlation between teacher stress and student test anxiety, and between student test anxiety and test scores.

Proven Results
Three months after school administrators and K-12 teachers from a Kentucky school district received training, symptoms of stress had dropped dramatically.
Prior to the training, 34% of the participants said that they felt exhausted. Three months after the training that number had dropped to only 11%. Those who said they felt like quitting their job dropped from 21% to 14% during the same three-month period. Similar before and after assessments are available for every participant in your school.
