Holly King, PhD
Hi, I’m Holly.
I work with:
— Individual educators who struggle with classroom management, professional burnout and/or creating
amazing classroom experiences
— Schools that want to improve their climate and culture through a focus on relational teaching, positive
guidance and reflective teaching practices
I’ve been running my business for 12 years and I’ve served over 2,000 people in face-to-face and online seminars, workshops and college courses. I've spent time in dozens of schools helping teachers and school leaders work toward continuous improvement. I'm also a passionate advocate for social justice in schools and in the world.
Helping people to feel lit up about teaching and education makes me so proud and drives everything I do.
If you’re looking for inspiration for your teaching or your school, or just want to get your passion for teaching reignited, I’d love to work with you, too!
