Hey, I'm Andriana!
Elementary Teacher, Classroom & Behavior Management Coach, and Founder of The Active Educator.
I created The Active Educator to help teachers create classrooms that are active, connected, and emotionally supportive.
"Wow! Your classroom is so calm."
That’s the feedback I kept getting from my principal and teammates when they saw what was happening in my classroom.
As a teacher, I spent years reflecting on my practice and studying what actually worked in my classroom. I even began recording myself teaching—not to create content, but to understand why my classroom felt calm, connected, and effective.
When I started sharing short, in-action videos online, teachers began asking the same questions I once asked myself: How are you managing behavior without constant consequences? How are your students so engaged?
Those questions led me to create Heart-Centered Classroom Management, followed by a suite of training resources and toolkits that now support teachers and classrooms around the world.
At the heart of my work is a belief I’ve lived out both personally and professionally: movement, emotional support, and connection are essential—not extras. When teachers feel grounded and confident, students feel it too.
Everything I create is designed to help teachers show up with more calm, clarity, and confidence—while building classrooms rooted in connection, not control.

01 Gilmore Girls is my forever comfort show.
02 I live in Levi’s + an oversized cozy sweater.
03 A warm matcha latte > any other drink.
04 I’m from Macedonia and spend most summers there with family.
05 My mom is my best friend (and always has been).
06 I move my body daily—walking, running, Pilates, strength training… movement is my reset.
07 I love spontaneous solo trips. Recently the South of France, next destination TBD ✨
If you’re here, you probably care deeply about your students—but you’re also tired.
A calmer, more connected classroom doesn’t come from doing more—it comes from doing things differently.
I share simple, supportive tools that help you care for your students and yourself in the middle of real school days.
