From Curriculum to Classroom


In 2014, Amy Edelstein founded Inner Strength Education to bring the benefits of the Conscious Classroom to as many students and educators as possible. Since that time, this evidence-based curriculum has empowered more than 30,000 teenagers with mindful awareness and systems thinking. It has also supported 3,800 classroom teachers with practical and profound stress management programs.

Key to this program is its multi-faceted approach to self-knowledge, self-regulation, and compassion building. Combining practice and perspectives, science and inner reflection, history and a systems approach, students learn to see their experience from a variety of vantage points. They learn to see the interconnectedness between themselves, others, and the environment and how our deep evolutionary history affects how our brains work today.

This program has garnered Amy a Philadelphia Social Innovation Award, the designation as a CASEL-recommended program for social-emotional learning, and an IPPY Award and #1 Amazon Education bestseller for The Conscious Classroom describing the philosophy and application of the program.

As the world changes, Inner Strength Education continues to innovate, expand, and lead in the world of Education Design Thinking.
