After years of supporting schools in curriculum and assessment preparation, Erin observed that even high-quality curriculum can be rendered ineffective in chaotic learning environments. Effective curriculum thrives when students are focused and distractions are minimized. Erin’s learning environment philosophy aligns with Madeline Hunter’s sentiment: ‘Kids don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.’ Building connections and relationships accelerates academic progress. Erin believes in simple yet effective strategies to create positive change in classrooms.

The assumption that all students come to school ready to learn is widespread and rarely questioned. Erin recognizes that various factors outside of school influence students’ behavior. However, much can be done during the school day to create positive and dramatic change. Teachers play a multifaceted role, including instructing students with a wide range of backgrounds and personalities, where every student is unique. Erin advocates for a comprehensive toolbox of strategies to help teachers feel confident and prepared for a gamut of situations.

Erin is dedicated to helping educators find success through inspirational, research-based strategies and confidence-building stress management. She equips educators with a research-proven toolbox to bring out the best in their students.
