Not Your Ordinary Professional Development
It’s a challenging time to be an educator, and the way we navigate those challenges can light us up or burn us out. As a researcher and resilience trainer, I help educators develop the inner resources to stay longer, grow stronger, and recapture the joy in teaching. I also help school and district leaders develop cultures that support educator resilience.
As an active researcher, my original research is the foundation of the Teacher Recharge Framework. The 3 components of the framework (relationships, reframing, and resilience) are the keys to increased engagement and retention. I teach these keys in my talks and trainings.
My Most Requested Programs:
Keep Making Ripples - With inspiration and practical strategies, this program helps teachers at any level of experience learn to navigate challenges, build resilience, and find more joy in their work.
Keep Your Ripple Makers - This program is for school and district leaders who want to support resilience building in their teachers and increase teacher engagement and retention.
Look Alive, Teacher! - Building internal resources can help teachers deal with the demands of the profession without burning out. This program is packed with powerful strategies and tools for building resilience and keeping our teacher batteries charged.
