Surprising discoveries focus on the heart and its critical role in learning.

 

The most astonishing finding at the Institute of HeartMath is that the heart has an intricate nervous system of its own and is now known as the Heart-Brain. The heart sends more information to the cortical brain than the cortical brain to the heart. When the head works in harmony with the heart, the entire body’s systems are also aligned and learning and communicating are easy. Learning how to make this happen is the key to successful teaching and learning.  

 

Stress has a negative impact on the body’s systems and causes “cortical inhibition” or inability to think and function clearly.

 

The groundbreaking methods taught are fun and easy to integrate into daily life and promote emotional self-management for both teachers, staff and students. Allow me to help you transform the stress of teaching and learning with the Resilient Educator Training!  

 

HeartMath Resilient Educator Training

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, teaching to different learning styles, implementing regular assessments, learning to use new technology, maintaining classroom order, managing time, or just making sure all students make Adequate Yearly Progress. The toll from these ever increasing expectations can weigh heavily, leaning to costly early retirement, career changes, increased sick days, health issues, lower morale, and greater job dissatisfaction. To stay the course in today’s educational climate, educators need new skills and strategies to become effective and more resilient.  

 

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 scientifically-validated techniques are easy to learn and help rekindle educators’ motivation and energy. Drawing on the Institute of HeartMath’s fifteen years of scientific research and successful interventions with corporations, hospitals, government agencies, and schools, this training engages educators through its timely, practical and research-based approach.
