School Residency
It’s wonderful to have a speaker visit your school for a day or two, but what happens next? Keep the momentum going by making Rachel your school’s Educator-in-Residence for a semester or academic year. Rachel will coach your school’s administrators, teachers and counselors to optimize:
- Administrative responses to peer aggression and bullying
- Classroom management and discipline
- Clinical interventions by school counselors
- Community response to cyberbullying
- Anti-bullying policy development
- Parent-school relations regarding bullying
School residencies typically include multiple on-site visits for professional development sessions, assemblies and parent nights. Programming for girls, student leaders and sports teams can be included in a school residency.
Residencies are arranged through a monthly or annual retainer fee. Both on-site visits and Skype/telephone coaching are available.
