What is Calm Classroom Direct Service?

Calm Classroom Direct Service is a training model that provides ongoing mindfulness-based professional development for educators via interactive virtual workshops.

Why Mindfulness in the Classroom?

Mindfulness is a foundational skill that can help students and teachers reduce stress and anxiety, increase mental and emotional well-being, and engage more fully in the learning environment. Mindfulness is our ability to pay attention to our present moment thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, and surrounding environment with a kind and open attitude.
