Professional Development 

Schools and organizations that partner with me demonstrate a commitment and investment in the culture of their institutions. Research indicates that when professional development is personalized to organizational goals or individual teacher needs, children experience better learning outcomes.

 

I offer a range of opportunities to meet the professional development needs of educators, through customized programs aligned with their own set of goals and objectives.

Parent Workshops

Parent workshops are targeted sessions with a specific area or parent technique as a focus. While the workshops are topic-specific, they are not “cookie-cutter” as I work with participants to understand and adapt to meet their needs through discussion, reflection, and real-life applications. 

Schools can select one-time targeted workshops that focus on a specific pedagogical practice. I work with educators and school staff to gain a better understanding of the strategy. While the workshops are topic-specific, they are adapted to meet the mission of the school and the needs of participants through discussion, reflection and school-wide or classroom application.
