“I founded Caring {and effective} Classroom Solutions, LLC after retiring from 35 years as an early interventionist, preschool teacher and teacher educator. My brain-based strategies work for all learners, but will give you a deeper appreciation for the challenging child while minimizing staff burn-out and expulsion / suspension rates.”

LASER-FOCUSED IN-SERVICE TRAINING
We’ve all been to in-service trainings that get us excited to try new things – but the effects fade out after a short time. No more!
Through our positive, strengths-based approach to staff development, participants feel empowered and invested in making meaningful change.
We start with what your staff knows and can do (Strengths) and where they want to be (Interests & Priorities). Using your SIPs, we’re able to deliver an in-service training module that is finely tailored — laser-focused.
TEAM BUILDING TUNE-UP
Is you teacher’s lounge filled with cliques, prejudices, and gossip? A toxic work environment negatively impacts everyone: staff, administrators, children, and families! Prevent workplace conflict with our proven strategies that help your team discover similarities, common ground, and strengths that bring each other together and encourage growth. Build an atmosphere of respect and support that benefits everyone involved with a Team Building Tune-Up.
STAFF DEVELOPMENT CONSULTATION (FOR ADMINISTRATORS)
We all, even the best administrators, need support and the benefit of a fresh perspective from time to time. If your staff could use a boost, we can help.
An experienced consultant will meet with you, in person or virtually, to identify staff Strengths, Interests, & Priorities (SIPs). Together we will develop a professional development plan that begins with what your team knows and can do (Strengths) to design a professional journey that will prepare your team to rise to the next level.
TUNE-UPS
Support and sustain the energy our coaching and/or training sessions deliver with our “Tune-Ups.” Designed to support educators in their continued implementation of our classroom SIPs methods (Strengths, Interests, and Priorities) our Tune-Ups result in lasting improvements and a happier, healthier learning environment for all.
IN YOUR PRACTICE GUIDES
Our “In Your Practice Guides” are offered to clients who have completed a coaching session, consultation, or in-service training. Topics range from The Anxious Child to Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers.
Each guide summarizes common classroom challenges and recommends easily-implemented solutions. Our practice guides serve as a great tool for continued improvement, team building, and customized staff development.
Our Success Packs are the best way to ensure your classroom leadership and students have all the tools they need to create a learning environment that is joyful and safe.
Combine any three of our specialized services to create a unique package of resources tailored to your program’s needs.
