Teaching mindfulness: the privilege of positive impact.

The work and mission of Calmer Choice is made possible by our team of vetted and skilled instructors. We provide intentional training to grow our team and expand our reach to more students, classrooms, schools, and communities.

Being a Calmer Choice Instructor is not a volunteer position, it is a job. We take pride in providing quality evidence-based mindfulness education to our schools, and know this requires the commitment and investment of trained and qualified mindfulness educators. Our instructors are all paid part-time employees of Calmer Choice.

We are currently assessing our instructional capacity needs for the 2024-2025 school year. If you are interested in working with us, please reach out to us. 

Requirements to Teach Calmer Choice:

  1. Have a committed personal mindfulness practice

  2. Possess teacher certification and/or significant demonstrated classroom experience

  3. Be willing to teach in any of our partner school districts 

“I am so lucky I have this job. I see the benefits and the appreciation every time I walk into the classroom. They are so glad we are there.”
