Get the Support


Whether you are a new teacher or a veteran, you can still continue your journey to become better.  Everyday that I'm in a classroom or helping other teachers, I am sparked with aha moments.  This is no surprise to me, because we are all operating on our own time clock and the process cannot be rushed. 

I used to get frustrated about what I didn't know.  Now, I realize that I wasn't ready for the information.  This is important to remember as you embrace your own learning journey.  Here are some ways that I might be able to support you.

Where do I begin?

A possible start is to take a look at the services guide. Click on the image for the download.   

​We all have different needs and sometimes we need to collaborate with different voices to see what was right in front of us.  Collaboration is a true art form, because we often walk away with a masterpiece that we could not have solved on our own. 

Click on the button to ask your questions and hopefully we can work together to sort it out.

Coaching

Picture

​​Do you need to chat with someone ​to bounce off ideas to enhance your practices and your units? 

​I can meet privately to support your learning needs.  Contact me for my price structure and we'll be sure to find something that will work for you and your school. 

Group Chats


At times, our team needs some help getting started with the unit or lesson planning, especially when beginning a new program. 

I can meet with you as a team virtually or in-person to define the questions to be explored and create out-of-the-box thinking to move your team ahead.

Training

Picture

Nothing beats attending a professional development event. 

I can train on a wide variety of topics based on current educational research.  Your role will be to decide which training is just right for your team at this moment in time.  

Take a look at the bottom of the page for a list of professional development offerings that are available. 

Consulting


​
Sometimes, the entire school needs to make some systematic changes, but they don't quite know where to start. 

We can work together to identify the root causes and create a plan to build a stronger culture. 

Consider looking at the type of consulting work that I am frequently engaged in at the bottom of this page.

​Testimonials

Here's what others are saying about our professional development.

​"Lu was fantastic!  We are an international school in Bangkok and we were looking for someone to facilitate a discussion on inquiry-based instruction.  Lu met via video conference from Texas and led a great interactive workshop with our staff who were in Thailand.  She met administration ahead of time and tailored the training to fit our needs.  We would recommend Lu for any professional development you may need! 10/10!"
