Practical. Relevant. Engaging. Teacher-driven.
See what folks are saying about working with Erin.
“Erin has provided some of the finest professional development for my teachers that our district has ever had. Caring, interactive, engaging, relevant, funny, thoughtful, timely. Simply amazing. I can’t wait to get her back here for more.”
Eugene O., Director of Fine and Performing Arts
Everett Public Schools, MA
“I don’t think I’ve ever had a workshop quite like Erin’s. I used the strategies immediately with my students and they worked! Now I don’t focus so much on all the things I can’t do and focus on what I can. I feel like I can actually love my job again.”
Sean D., K-8 Music Teacher
New York City
“So, so good. Finally, I have two or three things I can actually use next week. The “challenge by choice” framework is genius.
Carnegie Hall Music Educators Workshop Participant
New York City
“Insightful, engaging and the best PD I’ve ever had in my twenty-four years of teaching. The amount of energy and enthusiasm she has for full-day workshops is truly unmatched. I blinked and the day was over.”
Lorie M., 9-12 Visual Arts Teacher
Sacramento, CA
“I’m so glad that I had attended one of Erin’s sessions on ways to engage learners by improving my equity practices. As soon as I started the school year, my classroom culture shifted and students are now more engaged than ever. Erin continues to be a tremendous help. I look forward to our meetings every month.”
Helen M., 6-12 General and Instrumental Teacher, Helsinki, Finland
We all want to make an impact on our students through music and the arts.
But the vast majority of teachers and leaders feel stuck, overworked, pulled in a million directions and too exhausted to make any meaningful changes in their own teaching practices.
Simply put—teaching and leading continues to challenge arts teachers in ways never imagined.
Many of the ways we’ve been teaching and leading in the past won’t work today.
I help music and arts teachers and leaders, school districts, and arts organizations who:
Want practical, timely professional development that engages students with inclusive, innovative methods
Don’t have time for deep reflective work to make lasting changes
Are asked to do more within limited school time
Want to improve curriculum and programs for today’s students
Want to grow as educational leaders and advance their careers and job satisfaction
