For Teachers
Feeling exhausted? Experiencing classroom behaviors that are taking you over the edge? Or are you a change agent and heart hero in your school and you're ready to feel true support and guidance from someone who understands where you're at and where you want to go?
Our teachers are at the heart of our students' and children's academic, social, and emotional growth. They are our Heart Heroes!
No more Sunday Night Scaries. No more worrying in the middle of the night. And no more feeling drained, exhausted, tired, and alone.
While the Heart Hero Membership is for teachers who want to just grab and go, Kim's Back to Behavior Community is a step above. Open only three times during the year, Kim will give you the tools to transform YOU, and your classroom.
If you're a teacher who is feeling drained, overwhelmed, and feeling like you're running out of ways to support the students in your classroom, then the Back to Behavior Community is exactly what you've been looking for. You'll get complete access to everything in Kim's Heart Hero Membership: a yearly subscription to all her anchor charts, visual supports, Brag Tags, PDFs, Morning Meeting slide decks, and google forms for behavior. You'll gain access to an entire Teacher Website that is filled with a month-by-month framework, tips and tricks that you can use the next day, phrases to use to support your classroom management, and mini workshops that are super simple, easy to digest, and jam packed with information to support you no matter where you're at in your teaching career.
You'll also get LIVE coaching with Kim and her mentor experts each month. Tell Kim about all those big behaviors that are throwing you for a loop, and you'll get your next best steps to put into action the very next day. You'll also get to connect to her community of educators across the United States every month who are just like YOU.
Kim also offers an exclusive Group Coaching Program for educators and mentors called Teaching Inside Out. This monthly coaching includes everything in the Back to Behavior Community, as well as weekly coaching with Kim through the app, Voxer. It's literally like having Kim in your back pocket every single day, AND you get consistent feedback and connection with educators in a tight knit, like-minded, community that you'll link arms with all year long.
All educators who wish to be part of Kim's yearly Teaching Inside Out groups must participate in her Back to Behavior Community, or work with her with your school/district first. Educators will be selected through her inquiry and interview process.
For Schools and Districts
Are you an innovative and cutting edge school or district that is ready to make your mark in your county or state?
Our teachers don't want ONE more curriculum. And the definitely don't want ONE more thing added to their plate this year. And after all that they have endured with the COVID-19 pandemic, and all the uncertainties and changes, let's do something for THEM.
Kim will coach, guide, mentor, and transform your school and district with systematic approach to SEL that supports ALL teachers, ALL students, and ALL families.
She will walk you through her Social Emotional Learning Framework: The ABC's of SEL, and her holistic approach to teaching Social Emotional Learning with a common language, strategies for academics and behaviors, AND how to create longevity and sustainability while bridging the gap between school and home.
Do you already have a Social Emotional Learning curriculum? Have your teachers been exposed and trained in multiple practices and supports? Kim will walk alongside you in order to create a framework that includes everything you've already been using so that your teachers don't feel like anything new is being added to their plate, and she'll help you fill in the gaps so that it can feel cohesive. Kim will show you how easily everything can be implemented throughout the school day so it can be embedded into all academic content areas.
Kim also offers a 3 Year Coaching and Mentorship Program for schools and districts across the United States who are looking to take their SEL transformation from good to great, and great to phenomenal.
