Grounded in developmental understanding
This work is informed by a deep understanding of how social, emotional, and behavioral development unfolds—from early childhood through adolescence and adulthood.
If This Is the Work You’re Holding as a Leader
You’re investing in SEL and MTSS and want consistency across classrooms, schools, and roles—so expectations, language, and support systems actually align with your goals.
You’re looking for ways to strengthen adult capacity, reduce strain, and support students without relying on reactive or fragmented interventions.
You’re focused on embedding social, emotional, and behavioral supports into instruction, routines, and relationships so students experience safe, predictable, and supportive learning environments.
Foundational Work for Safe, Supportive Learning Environments
The following topics reflect the core focus areas developed through this work. Each can be explored through facilitated learning, coaching, or longer-term development engagements.
MTSS Core Foundations
Focused support to build shared understanding, adult capacity, and strong practices across the system.
Rethinking Behavior
How brain development, emotional intelligence, and well-being shape how kids handle hard moments
The Science and Practice of Belonging
Helping educators and leaders understand how belonging is built—and disrupted—through adult behavior, classroom practices, and schoolwide systems, and translating that understanding into daily actions that support connection, safety, and engagement.
Everyday SEL in action
Moving SEL beyond programs by embedding social, emotional, and behavioral skill development into instruction, classroom culture, and how adults work together across the school day.
The Brain’s Alarm System: Why Some Students Struggle and How You Can Help
Supporting educators and leaders in understanding how stress and trauma affect brain function, behavior, and learning, and how adult responses can promote regulation, safety, and readiness to learn.
