Welcome to the Mindful Educator Certification Program for teachers and educators.
The truth is that being a teacher can be challenging in the modern world…
Your students are under extreme pressure with academic stress, performance expectations, digital overload and bullying – and it can be overwhelming.
Most teachers realize that education is no longer limited to academic success, but extends into emotional intelligence and life skills as well.
So how do you minimize behavioral issues and low academic performance?
How do you empower students to thrive and become productive members of society?
Mindfulness is a science-based approach to present-moment awareness that reduces disruptive behavior and increases your students ability to perform in a healthy way.
Imagine a classroom of well-adjusted and compassionate children who can be focused and enjoy learning about the world.
The Mindful Educator Certification Program provides you with the practical knowledge, techniques, and practices to bring Mindfulness into your classroom in an effective way.
You’ll be amazed how the power of mindfulness can transform your class, yourself and your students’ lives…
See you on the inside!
Thank you,
Carin Winter
Founder of MissionBe

Build Peer Network
Integrating a new program such as mindfulness in one’s own life or in a classroom provides many challenges. The weekend training offers opportunities for teachers to authentically connect and learn from peer Bay Area educators integrating mindfulness in their lives and in their classrooms.
What I enjoyed most about the Mission be training was how much consideration of the student experience was taken into account throughout the training. The facilitators were speaking just as much about how to infuse best practices with engaging different learning styles as they were talking about mindfulness practices and theories. There was authenticity and accessibility of the facilitators to collaborate and brainstorm. I also enjoyed the communication connections of mindfulness and common core standards to cultivate a common language around mindfulness to infuse in education.”
