A primary purpose and focus of research and development at the Institute of HeartMath is education. The IHM staff is committed to exploring new methodologies and developing improved materials and technology to provide an optimal educational experience to every person, young and old: That philosophy applies as much to educators as it does to students.
HeartMath understands that for students to have a chance of performing up to their maximum potential, they must have teachers, administrators and support staff who not only are well trained professionally, but in other areas as well, particularly in their ability to balance and manage their own emotions as they cope with the stresses of their profession. That is why we introduced the Resilient Educator® and Qualified Instructor Program®. These programs were developed using the knowledge gained in
HeartMath’s 19 years of scientific research into stress and emotional management. They teach participants about the intelligence and capacity of the heart to work in concert with the mind in guiding us to think clearly, make sound decisions and help us maintain the energy level and overall well-being we need to perform at our best.

Here is what some educators have said about their experience with The Resilient Educator program.
"This is a refreshing workshop at a time when teachers are overwhelmed with in-services that are often dull, trivial, repetitive and an insult to experienced teachers."
—Pat McGran, Teacher, Jefferson School District, Daly City, Calif.
"Not only did the seminar meet our expectations, it far exceeded them. The energy management and stress level of our staff have improved noticeably."
—Jeff Tobey, Administrator, Sundance School, New Jersey
