Calma equips teachers with a framework and resources to create calm classrooms.
As a result students learn how to cultivate the important life skills of self-managing their distracted thoughts, emotions and behaviors.
Everyone in your school will benefit from the Calma program:
Calma is a highly evolved, progressive series of three age-appropriate student mindfulness video lessons designed for classroom delivery. Teachers have access to five high quality video lessons with accompanying guided mindfulness exercises to engage students in a daily meditation practice to cultivate skills such as present moment awareness, self-regulation and more focused attention. Students are prompted to engage in a teacher or student lead discussion about how these skills will help them academically, socially and emotionally.

The staff training program is also available on our website so you can use Calma immediately to directly engage students without complex and lengthy preparations, expensive costs, or formal certification pre-requisites. Staff can watch the training videos at their convince, and new or veteran staff will be able to access the videos throughout the entire school year.
Finally, after sharing the five mindfulness lessons:
You have access to additional guided meditation exercises to use throughout the school year to begin your day calmly, or to help with transitions. You will continue to create calm classrooms the entire school year- all you have to do is click play!
