 Professional Development 

Present TeacherTM is an evidence-based professional learning program that draws on best practice in mindfulness, neuroscience, adult SEL, and transformative learning theory to cultivate core capacities of educator mental, emotional, and heart/soul well-being. 

OUR MISSION

Provide teachers with strategies, practices, and experiences rooted in mindfulness to deepen self-awareness, equity consciousness, and compassion for self and others so to learn how to adapt to the stressors of a heart-centered profession in a healthy way.

Strategically cultivate habits of mind and humanizing dispositions to remain calm in chaotic teaching moments, see student behavior through the lens of curiosity and compassion, and see the self as capable and confident through the many challenges of teaching. 

Engage teachers in exploring the origins of teacher well-being while learning a research-base process to productively "process problems" that commonly arise in teaching so that teachers can actualize their innate calm, resilience, and emotional agility to stage off burnout and realize happiness, joy, passion, and purpose in their teaching practice.

Research confirms that students thrive emotionally, intellectually, and socially in learning environments that are positive, joyful, and happy! Especially during such stressful times, teachers need to know how to strategically cultivate joy, stoke enthusiasm, and "hardwire happiness." For better or for worse, students can read a teacher's presence even through online learning environments....

A calm and quiet mind is a teacher's greatest pedagogical super-power and well-being asset.

Teacher burnout not only has high financial costs for districts, there is an exceedingly high relational, emotional, human capital, and learning cost. Research confirms that teachers can learn practical strategies to metabolize the stress inherent in the teaching profession as fuel to "burn in" to teaching, and more importantly, use the stress as an invitation to gain greater equity consciousness, self-awareness, and compassion...

Since relationships are foundational to good teaching, anti-racist teaching practices, and effective student learning, teachers must become relationship researchers. Core to being a relationship researcher is exploring one's personal SEL development. 

The Soul of a Resilient Teacher
No More Moral Injury or Secondary Trauma

Infinity%2520Logos-02_edited_edited.png

Research confirms that one of the most insidious forms of teacher burnout out is moral injury. When teachers feel that their values, passions, and natural talents are not able to be expressed in their teaching, they can quickly experience a soul or "psychic wound" that damages their sense of connection to their students, their very selves, and their calling to teach...
