Clemson teams up with HeartMath to help S.C. education
Clemson University’s Youth Learning Institute and the Institute of HeartMath, signed an agreement giving Clemson the exclusive rights to market in South Carolina such HeartMath programs as TestEdge™, an interactive learning program that helps students improve learning and performance, including scores on high-stakes tests, as well as a program to help teachers and administrators deal with stress. TestEdge™, which is based on HeartMath’s scientifically-validated, heart-brain research, teaches proven tools and strategies for helping students overcome test and performance anxiety, while at the same time enhancing their focus, clarity and problem solving ability. IHM was recently awarded a $1 million grant by the U.S. Department of Education to demonstrate the benefits of the TestEdge program.
