— Behavior Coaching Certification Participant

"Attending the online Together We Grow coaching classes has
been nothing short of transformative. Prerna Richard’s coaching has
provided me with invaluable tools that have not only enhanced my own
teaching but have also empowered me to better guide my fellow teachers through their classroom challenges.

—Andrea F.,
Director Of Curriculum, Sunnyside Preschool

"Before the certification course, I did not know the relationship between brain development and challenging behaviors. I also learned how important the teacher and the coach's mindset impact how we show up for the children. Since I have completed the certification course, I've gotten the opportunity to share with teachers the brain state model and how to effectively communicate to children when they are showing behaviors related to each of the brain state. I've even seen myself grow as a coach when I respond to children when they are expressing a variety of emotions. I feel better equipped to address behaviors appropriately."

—Miranda L.,  Inclusion Specialist for The Alliance for Children 

If you are struggling with:

  • Overwhelmed, burned-out staff and high turnover rates that leave you constantly putting out fires.
  • Teachers who roll their eyes at feedback, resist change at every turn, and act like showing up is doing you a favor. 
  • Chaotic classrooms and challenging behaviors—from children and teachers—that seem to never go away.

You're at the right place.  

I'm going to give you a simple, step-by-step way to make real changes—because coaching isn’t something you’re just born knowing how to do, but it is a skill you can learn.
