Mindful Measures was founded by Christen LaChance, M.Ed, a certified Educational Diagnostician with a simple belief: students shouldn't just be tested, but mindfully measured.

Every child deserves to be seen as more than a collection of scores. Christen’s approach emphasizes thoughtful, comprehensive evaluations that consider the whole child.

As Mindful Measures continues to grow, we're intentionally building a team of professionals who share this philosophy. We value collaboration, integrity, compassion, and high-quality work that puts students first. If you're passionate about helping students thrive and want the flexibility of contract work while being part of a mission-driven organization, Christen would love to hear from you!
