PD in Schools
Heart-Centered PD Workshops bring the Heart-Centered Method to life through interactive, in-person or virtual professional learning. Workshops are grounded in real classroom practice and tailored to the needs of your school.
If you’ve ever left a PD feeling inspired but unsure what to actually do on Monday morning, this work is different. The Heart-Centered Method focuses on realistic shifts you can apply immediately, in your language, your routines, and your instruction, without adding more to your plate.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT STRUCTURE:
Each live workshop is thoughtfully structured to balance mindset, strategy, and application, so learning translates directly into classroom practice.
PART 1:
A Heart-Centered
Lens & Mindset
Teachers build a shared understanding of Heart-Centered Teaching, exploring how regulation, connection, and clarity support both behavior and academics.
PART 2:
Learn Our Heart-Centered
Routines
Participants learn practical routines and procedures that bring calm, predictability, and student ownership into the classroom, supporting smoother transitions and stronger focus throughout the day.
PART 3:
Heart-Centered
Instruction & Delivery
Teachers explore how instructional language, cues, gestures, and movement support regulation and engagement during lessons, without stopping instruction or adding extra steps.
Workshops & Modeling
Teachers see strategies modeled in action and work through short, hands-on planning sessions to apply the Heart-Centered Method to their own instructional context.
You won’t just hear about strategies — you’ll see them modeled, practice them in real time, and plan how to use them in your own classroom. You’ll leave with language, routines, and next steps you can confidently implement right away.
