We had an amazing team retreat for the SEL Team in Metamora! Spent 3 days learning, connecting, collaborating, & creating SEL resources for staff. SO inspired & proud of this team! 👏❤️🎉 #teacherpd #mgs #selintegrations #leadershipdevelopment #sel #womenownedbusiness

Feedback after our PD at Walther Christian Academy: -Best training I’ve ever had! -Actually looking forward to the year! -Wish I learned this years ago! ✨If your PD is lacking, we’d love to come to your school✨ #teacherpd #trauma #selintegrations #womenownedbusiness

Staff kick-off @ Metamora Grade School—huge success! We explored how to use a trauma-informed lens, & the SEL Team shared the amazing resources they created for staff🎉👏Cheers to an amazing year for MGS!!! #metamora #teacherpd #selintegrations #womenownedbusiness #weloveteachers

Spent the morning w/ the wonderful admin team from @hawthorn_73 learning more about restorative practices & how to have difficult conversations that actually strengthen relationships & help us be authentic 🌟#restorativepractices #selintegrations #traumainformed #womeninbusiness

Great day MetamoraGradeSchool! Teachers r taught to find deficits, then “fix” kids. How can we help kids reach their potential if we don’t see their potential 1st? We must look for/acknowledge strengths in others, then build on that for growth to occur. #traumainformed #selintegrations

We can’t help students behave better by making them feel worse. We studied communication skills & using boundaries & empathy to create safety for kids. We’re so grateful for our partnership with @hawthorn_73 🎉❤️ #restorativepractices #teacherpd #parentuniversity #selintegrations

Amazing Tier II training w/compassionate clinicians @hawthorn_73 Why are systems crucial? So we shift from, “How do we help Billy?” to “How do we set up structures/supports to help the next 100 Billys?” Systems improve the quality of relationships w/students ❤️ #selintegrations

Laughter and fun during PD!!! That’s just our style 😎🎉 #teacherpd #womeninbusiness #selintegrations #traumainformed

We are super pumped to be partnering with @LibertyvilleD70 and their Families Learning Together series!! 🥰#learningtogether #caregivers #traumainformedparenting

Come #nuture your soul with Lindsay and other amazing presenters at the PairedLearning Nuture Retreat for Educators in August. The beginning of the school year doesn’t need to be filled with anxiety - we bring the calm by first taking care of ourselves. #foryou #educatorPD

Wonderful day w/staff in School District 194! Participants learned a framework for facilitating community circles, which strengthen connectivity, trust, and relationships. These wise educators enjoyed sharing and learning together! #selintegrations #staffpd #restorativepractices

These two ladies will help your team discover your “two words” or, as was the case at ROWVA CUSD #208, your three words 😉 that will guide your district’s climate and culture! We loved facilitating your team retreat this summer ROWVA Tigers 🐯 !!! #culture #purpose #vision

We had a blast sharing tips for when challenges arise in circles and learning new practices like “Seven” with the Hawthorn School District 73 Middle North staff! #culture #middleschool #advisory
