Acre Minds is an initiative dedicated to supporting teacher wellness, reducing burnout, and strengthening the communities that surround educators and students.
Through community connection, professional support, and student-centered learning initiatives, Acre Minds works to create healthier and more sustainable educational environments.
Why Acre Minds Exists
Teaching is deeply meaningful work, but it can also be exhausting and isolating. Many educators are asked to give endlessly of themselves while having little space to recharge or receive support.
Acre Minds was created to help address that gap by building spaces where teachers can connect, reflect, and access resources that support both their well-being and their professional growth.
Meet the Founder
Acre Minds was founded by Amanda Zubia, a former classroom teacher with more than a decade of experience in education. Through her years in the classroom, Amanda witnessed both the incredible dedication of teachers and the growing challenges they face. These experiences inspired her to create Acre Minds — a space dedicated to supporting teacher wellness, strengthening educational communities, and helping educators sustain their passion for the work they love.
In addition to her work with Acre Minds, Amanda also supports public health initiatives focused on school safety, including campaigns that promote secure firearm storage to protect children. Creating safer environments for students and teachers is deeply connected to educator well-being and reflects her broader commitment to supporting the education community.
Our Vision
Acre Minds is built on the belief that when teachers are supported, students thrive.
By focusing on teacher wellness, professional growth, and academic support, Acre Minds aims to foster environments where educators feel valued, students receive meaningful support, and communities grow stronger together.
