Mission Be Inc is a not-for-profit implementing mindfulness-based social emotional learning programs in schools and communities across America.
We are offering 20 full scholarships to educators, typically the course is $335 but they will only have to pay $83 for the materials and the class will be free.
Since 2013, Mission Be has brought our mindful education program to a total of 325 schools, trained thousands of teachers, and reached over 330,000 people in 26 states and 11 nations. Our curriculum is rooted in neuroscience and designed to create positive learning environments, decrease student stress, improve student focus, and decrease violence and bullying, while creating a school-wide culture of compassion.

Join us for a weekend of learning and relaxation. The Mission Be team will provide you with an easy to use mindful curriculum for you and your classroom. This interactive weekend will also provide educators with a solid easy to use 16 week mindfulness-based education course to bring back to your classroom, plus daily practices to teach throughout the year!
During the weekend we will explore self-care and relaxation practice to help you feel calm and rejuvenated. Come join us and learn how to use mindfulness practices to create a more compassionate and thriving classroom and gain the skills to help yourself too!
Join the movement for healthier and happier teachers and students
The Mindful Educator Training will introduce participants to the simple-yet powerful practice of mindfulness that can improve both their personal well-being and that of their students. Over the course of participants can expect to:
* Develop or Deepen Educator Self-Care Practice
The weekend experience is designed to help participants enhance their personal self-care and relaxation practice.
* Learn Mindfulness Facilitation Skills
The weekend will train educators in Mission Be’s 12 Week Mindfulness Program for children in K-5.
* Strengthen Peer Network
The weekend training offers many opportunities for educators to authentically connect and learn from peer educators integrating mindfulness in their lives and in the classroom.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
The weekend is open for all K-5 administrators, teachers, school counselors, psychologists and social workers and others working with youth.
Mindfulness programs have great potential to help students and teachers thrive in school and beyond as seen in the many positive experiences of those participating in such programs. We invite you to join us with surrounding area educators in continuing this movement for healthier and happier students and teachers!
