Trainings & Workshops
Bringing Expert Knowledge to the People Who Show Up Every Day for Kids
Whether you're a teacher trying to reach a student who keeps shutting down, an administrator building a healthier school culture, or a parent trying to understand why your child struggles — the right training can change everything.
I offer professional development workshops, parent education sessions, and community trainings that are practical, research-backed, and designed for real people doing hard work in the real world. No death-by-PowerPoint. No generic binders. Just actionable knowledge you can use immediately.
Common Topics
🧠 Trauma-Informed Practices & TBRI®
Understanding how trauma affects child development, behavior, and learning — and how to respond in ways that support healing rather than harm. Grounded in Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI®), developed by the Karyn Purvis Institute at TCU.
🏫 Classroom Management & Student Behavior
Practical, evidence-based strategies for managing challenging behaviors, building classroom structure, and creating an environment where all students can learn and grow. Immediately applicable, no matter the grade level.
💛 Teacher & Staff Wellness
Burnout is real — and it's affecting classrooms across the country. This training helps educators recognize the signs of compassion fatigue, build sustainable practices, and protect their emotional health so they can keep showing up for their students.
📚 Understanding Learning Differences
An accessible introduction to common learning differences — including ADHD, dyslexia, autism, and anxiety — what they look like in the classroom, and how to support students who learn differently.
🤝 Building Family & Community Partnerships
Practical strategies for strengthening the relationship between schools and the families they serve — including how to communicate across language and cultural barriers, engage hard-to-reach families, and build real trust over time.
👨👩👧 Education Rights for Families
Designed for parent groups, community organizations, and family-facing professionals. Covers what parents are legally entitled to, how to navigate IEPs and 504 plans, what ARD meetings are and how to prepare for them, and how to advocate effectively for their child within the school system.
