A Note From Laurie…

Teach. Motivate. Inspire.

I’ve spent my life in education—not because it was easy, but because it mattered. From K–8 classrooms to college lecture halls, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside students and future teachers, always with one goal in mind: to create spaces where learning feels possible, purposeful, and human.

The work I do now is rooted in that same mission. I don’t bring trends or flashy programs. I bring strategies that teachers can use right away—real tools for real classrooms. Strategies that spark curiosity, invite student voice, and restore that sense of “I can do this” when the day feels overwhelming.

My hope is that every teacher I work with walks away feeling seen, supported, and reconnected to why they started this journey in the first place. You are making a difference—every single day—and I’m here to remind you of that, and to walk with you as you keep doing this important, life-changing work.

About My Services

My workshops are designed with real classrooms in mind—places full of energy, noise, challenges, and possibility. I don’t promise magic. I promise practical strategies that work with what you’re already doing.

Every session is filled with tools you can use right away—no programs to buy, no trendy jargon, just real solutions for real teachers. Whether it’s about managing behavior, boosting engagement, or reconnecting with your purpose, my goal is simple: to support you with strategies that make your teaching feel more sustainable, more joyful, and more effective.

Classroom Management

Classroom management shouldn’t feel like survival mode. This energizing session offers practical tools that help teachers stay calm under pressure, teach expectations with clarity, follow through with fairness, and set up classrooms for real learning—not just compliance. But most of all, it’s about connection. Because great teaching isn’t about perfection—it’s about consistency, relationships, and finding what truly works for you and your students. Walk in hopeful. Walk out recharged.

Student Engagement

When students feel connected, curious, and confident, learning comes to life. This session isn’t about starting over—it’s about shifting how we deliver, not what we teach. You’ll walk away with practical strategies that build relevance, spark curiosity, and deepen student connection, all while amplifying student voice in the process.
Because engagement isn’t about bells and whistles—it’s about helping students feel like they belong, like they matter, and like they can.
It’s not about perfection—it’s about connection, consistency, and discovering what works for you and your students.
