About Us
What we do
We exist for one reason: to help educators create and sustain meaningful change within themselves, within their schools, and in the lives of the students they serve.
We do this by providing truly excellent staff development and consulting on the most current and pressing needs to general and special education teachers, administrators, and paraprofessionals, preK-12.
Founded by Cristia Lesher in 2003, our approach has always been twofold:
-
First, to make it easy and convenient for schools to access great training and consulting.
-
Second, to do so by providing speakers and consultants who are not only deeply knowledgeable, but grounded in the realities of school: practical, thoughtful, and accomplished educators who remain approachable, human, and genuinely enjoyable to learn from.
We understand how critically important the work you do is. Educators have the opportunity to shift the world. Therefore, first and foremost, we are here to support you and help you, every single day.
