Behavioral impact of standard PD

Teacher wellbeing raises test scores

A recent study shows that strengthening the inner capacities of the adult in the room may affect more than that adult's wellbeing.

Stress, anxiety, and depression dropped and wellbeing rose in the 850 teachers who completed the training.
Their students never trained, yet those students' test scores rose anyway, just from being in the room with them.
Participating teachers saw sustained wellbeing benefit effect even at 6 months

Wellbeing Science Impacts Real-World Education

The Challenge

1 in 8 problem

One in eight US education roles is vacant or filled by an uncertified teacher.

425,000+ total education roles
~37,500 posts sitting entirely unfilled
~387,000 filled by teachers without full certification

The Evidence: Retention

6x more likely to stay

Educators who practiced with the Healthy Minds Program app were more likely to stay in their schools.

The ROI

Retention pays for itself

Every teacher retained is a mid-year vacancy that never happens.

Zero marginal cost to recover instructional time
Recruiting and onboarding costs avoided per retained teacher
Substitute-coverage spend avoided on mid-year gaps
