Why this PD is DIFFERENT & Preferred by Teachers

  • Relevant & Relatable Teachers are skeptical of new programs and PD from  "experts," filled with jargon and adding more "work" to their day. After 20 years full-time in a classroom, I'm still with students from TK through high school weekly.
  • Teaches the Skills Needed to Survive in Today's Environment To feel empowered and avoid burnout, teachers need skills like setting healthy boundaries and achieving proper work/life balance. They need practical tools to improve their emotional intelligence skills, such as professional communication, stress reduction, and separating school from home.
  • It's the ONLY PD That is About THEIR NEEDS (not student data & outcomes)
  • It's Flexible and Easy to Consume Whether it's a book or a course, the information is concise and actionable, with exercises, habits, and suggestions that are zero cost, science-backed, and geared towards the school environment.

 

Why this PD is Preferred by Administrators

  • Cost-effective: There's something for every budget, and you don't need to contract substitute coverage for the classroom.
  • Hands-Off (It's 100% done for you) 
  • Flexible  Assign to teachers for their PLC or prep time or simply add it as an Employee Wellness benefit. Option to purchase courses only for teachers who need them or allow teachers to choose their own curriculum based on need and preference.
  • Easy to Implement No Need to "squeeze" into busy teacher PD days or get substitute teacher coverage.
  • Accountability On-demand courses come with optional monthly progress reports.
  • Improved Campus Morale and Reduced Teacher Turnover mean less stress and more time for you, AND (it's a proven fact) student outcomes also improve. Everyone wins!

"If you are looking for a great staff PD that is engaging, positive, and supports your team's social/emotional well-being, then look no further than Grace Stevens. Grace left staff feeling inspired, motivated and focused on having a successful school year and provided them with the practical tools to ensure that her ideas were actionable and sustainable. So much more than a positivity pep talk; her advice was real-world and relevant. Teachers talked about her presentation for months afterward."
