What is Educator Consulting/Coaching?

Consultation is comprised of strategies to support the child’s emotional health through targeting specific factors that place the child at risk of developing behavior difficulties.  Through education and understanding, teachers are able to implement the steps that reduce challenging behaviors.  Teachers are in a position to make a huge difference in many, many lives.  A new decade of brain research indicates that the quality of early childhood education has a profound impact on the success of a child in school... a good predictor of success in life.

Coaching includes ‘real time’ support by working side-by-side to calm a child, resolve conflict, use classroom structures to optimize learning, perfect routines and rituals, strengthen staff relationships, and more.  The teacher will be guided and encouraged through your next steps toward relationship-based classroom implementation. Opportunities are endless, and are custom-designed to meet the teacher’s needs. Common topics include: resolving persistent conflict, maximizing self-regulation skills, adapting structures, routines and rituals for children with specific disabilities, applying classroom structures to optimize learning, calming an out-of-control child with specific issues, and creating relationships on a deeper level.As an educator coach,
