We teach who we are.

We are on a mission:

A mission of

educator mental health!

That is why Present TeacherTM exists--

to provide educational professionals with professional development experiences, strategies, and insights rooted in mindfulness, teacher transformation and SEL theories, mindful movement, and neuroscience that inspire them to transform and thrive, both personally and professionally, in their calling.

We want you to know that we see you. And when we say "you," we mean every individual from youth workers, ESPs, school counselors, classroom teachers to principals. You walk into school buildings and classrooms every single day committed to serving your students and youth with passion, purpose, and positivity.

And while working with youth is your calling, and you reap many great rewards from your work, the educational profession is stressful and emotionally demanding. Few, if any of us, ever received strategic support or training for coping with the inherent and unique mental, emotional, and heart & soul stressors of working in a human service profession.
