Course Offerings
The first course offered under the Qualified Instructor Program is The Resilient Educator®. The Resilient Educator is an engaging, activity-based workshop that can be delivered in either a half day (4 hour), full day (6 hour) format and includes a 2 hour Introduction training program and an overview presentation.
The training includes:
a beautifully-designed PowerPoint presentation to teach participants key HeartMath skills
the physiology of resilience and optimal performance
how to use the emWave® PC Stress Relief System
The Resilient Educator has received high marks from teachers and administrators across the country. Research has shown that educators attending the Resilient Educator training made significant improvements in motivation and positive outlook with major reductions in stress, fatigue, exhaustion, anger, and the intention to quit. Of a large group of elementary teachers in Arizona who participated in the training, 97% reported that the program was beneficial and relevant. The Resilient Educator is a key element of a model program funded by the U.S. Department of Education to improve teacher retention.
Once You Receive Your License
Those completing the Qualified Instructor Program are licensed to provide HeartMath workshops within their school system, or if they operate as independent trainers, they can deliver trainings to educational institutions for a fee. All that’s required is for the Qualified Instructor to purchase a participant guidebook for each attendee through the Institute of HeartMath’s Education Division.
This license covers a three-year period and allows for the commercial use of The Institute of HeartMath’s intellectual property within the field of education. It does not allow for the delivery of the programs in any other field, such as companies, hospitals, or government agencies.
In the near future, the Institute of HeartMath will offer additional courses that will enable Qualified Instructors to expand their range of HeartMath workshops to college students, administrators, non-certified staff and parents affiliated with school organizations.
