Professional Development for Schools & Districts
Year-long AI implementation support for Fall 2026
Your teachers are overwhelmed. Administrative tasks, endless emails, grading, lesson planning, parent communication - their plates are overflowing. What if AI could help give them hours back every week?​
The Challenge
Teachers are drowning in work that keeps them from what they love: teaching.
They need solutions that actually save time, not add another thing to learn.
Most AI training focuses on student-facing applications, but that's not where teachers are losing their nights and weekends.
​
Here's what principals are telling me:
-
Teachers are working 50-60 hour weeks
-
Sunday nights are consumed by planning and grading
-
Good people are considering leaving education
-
Traditional PD adds to their plates without reducing workload
Your teachers don't need another initiative. They need a system that gives them hours back every week.
What I Offer
This isn't a one-time workshop. It's a year-long partnership designed to actually change how your educators work.
Most professional development fails because it's one-and-done. Teachers get excited in a workshop, then go back to their classrooms and fall into old patterns because they're too busy to implement new systems alone.
​
My approach is different: structured implementation support across an entire school year, so new workflows actually stick.
The Program Structure
Phase 1:
Beginning of Year Kickoff Workshop (Half-Day, On-Site)
A hands-on session where teachers learn effective prompt writing and practice specific AI workflows for the tasks that consume the most time: planning, grading, communication, and administrative work.
​
Measurable Outcomes:
-
100% of participants leave with 5-10 AI workflows they've tested with their own classroom materials
-
Teachers create at least 3 usable work products during the session (lesson plans, feedback templates, parent communication, etc.)
-
Each participant identifies 2-3 specific tasks where they'll implement AI within the first two weeks
-
Post-workshop survey showing 80%+ participants rate content as "immediately applicable"
Phase 2:
Fall Implementation Support (September–December)
Monthly virtual office hours where teachers can ask real-world questions, troubleshoot challenges, and refine their workflows as they use them in daily practice.
​
Measurable Outcomes:
-
60%+ of workshop participants attend at least one office hours session
-
Teachers report saving an average of 2-4 hours per week on routine tasks by December
-
75%+ of participants are actively using at least 3 workflows from the August training
-
Documentation of specific roadblocks encountered and solutions implemented
Phase 3:
Mid-Year Leadership Check-In (December/January)
A brief conversation with building leadership to assess what's working, where teachers are stuck, and how to best support second-semester needs.
​
Measurable Outcomes:
-
Clear data on adoption rates: % of staff using AI weekly, monthly, or not at all
-
Identification of 3-5 specific barriers preventing full implementation
-
Documented adjustments to program focus for spring semester
-
Concrete plan for supporting teachers who are struggling vs. those ready to advance
Phase 4:
Mid-Year Refresh Workshop (Half-Day, On-Site)
Based on teacher feedback and implementation experience, we address common roadblocks, refine existing workflows, and introduce advanced strategies where appropriate.
​
Measurable Outcomes:
-
Teachers leave with solutions to their 3 most common implementation challenges
-
Each participant refines at least 2 existing workflows based on real classroom use
-
50%+ of participants add 2-3 advanced efficiency strategies to their toolkit
-
Staff collectively creates a shared prompt library specific to your building's needs
-
Post-session data showing 80%+ report the refresh "addressed my actual challenges"
Phase 5:
Spring Support (January–May)
Continued monthly virtual office hours and updated resources to maintain progress and build sustainable habits.
Measurable Outcomes:
-
70%+ of teachers report continued use of AI workflows through May
-
Average weekly time savings maintained at 2-4 hours per teacher (measured via end-of-year survey)
-
At least 25% of staff have created their own custom workflows beyond what was taught
-
End-of-year assessment showing 80%+ of participants plan to continue using AI systems next year
-
Documentation of efficiency gains that can be shared with other buildings/districts
These are the goals I'm tracking and working toward with every district I partner with.
Included in Every Program:
✓ Two half-day, on-site workshops (August & January)
✓ Monthly virtual office hours (September–May)
✓ Mid-year leadership check-in
✓ Comprehensive digital resource library with 50+ ready-to-use prompts
✓ Step-by-step implementation guides and video tutorials
✓ Direct email support throughout the year
✓ All materials, preparation, customization, and Iowa travel included
Total value: 20+ hours of direct training and consultation, plus ongoing digital access
Why this model works:
-
Traditional PD: One workshop → Teachers inspired → Back to reality → Nothing changes
-
This Program: Workshop → Practice → Support → Adjust → Workshop → Practice → Support = Sustainable change
-
The difference is ongoing support that helps teachers actually implement what they learn, troubleshoot when they get stuck, and build habits that last.

What Makes this Approach Different
I'm a Practicing Iowa Leader
Not a consultant who left the classroom years ago. I'm a CTE Coordinator who lives the same constraints your teachers face. This work is grounded in Iowa school realities, not theory.
Systems, Not Just Tools
Most AI training teaches tools. I teach workflow redesign. The focus is on building sustainable systems that reduce daily workload, not adding another platform to learn.
Wellbeing + Efficiency
I combine formal AI training from Vanderbilt University with my background as a certified life coach specializing in educator wellbeing. AI efficiency isn't about doing more—it's about creating space for the relationships and self-care that actually sustain teachers.
Implementation Support Built In
Change doesn't happen in a workshop. It happens with practice, troubleshooting, and ongoing support. That's why this is a year-long partnership, not a one-day event.
Who This is For
✓ School districts planning for the 2026-27 school year
✓ Building principals seeking sustainable solutions to teacher workload
✓ District leaders ready to invest in systems, not just tools
✓ Schools prioritizing teacher wellbeing and retention
The research is clear: teacher wellbeing predicts student success. When we reclaim educators' time, we're not just helping teachers—we're improving outcomes for every student they serve.
