If Any of These Sound Familiar, You're at the Right Place:

"I keep having the same conversation with this teacher and nothing changes."

"Classroom behaviors are getting worse and my staff feels overwhelmed. Nobody knows what to do."

"I spend my entire day putting out fires. Every problem is brought to my desk to solve, and I'm EXHAUSTED."

"I have teachers who are resistant to feedback and know how to do their jobs, but won't."

Transform Your Program!

You've Sent Them to Trainings, So Why Hasn't Anything Changed?

Your teachers have attended workshops.
They have heard the strategies.
They know the expectations.
Yet the same classroom challenges keep showing up.

The missing piece is not more information. It is helping teachers apply what they know in real situations with real children.

The Behavior Coaching Academy helps leaders close that gap through coaching, accountability, and ongoing support.

Who It’s For:

  • Directors, administrators, and leadership teams ready to lead with confidence
  • Programs where challenging behaviors are overwhelming teachers
  • Leaders looking to retain staff and reduce burnout
  • Schools that want program-wide transformation, not just one-time fixes
Save Your Spot

What You’ll See Change:

  • Fewer meltdowns, power struggles, and disruptive behaviors
  • Teachers who feel seen, supported, and equipped
  • Stronger routines and calmer classrooms
  • Improved morale and reduced turnover across your program

Imagine Walking Into Your Program Knowing...

You have a plan for the teacher with a fixed mindset, or the one who pushes back when you offer feedback.

You know what to say during those difficult conversations with your staff.

Your teachers are equipped to handle challenges before coming to you, so you're no longer the Chief Firefighter.

Challenging behaviors are finally descreasing because your entire team feels confident in their ability to respond when they happen.

And you finally have a process for creating lasting change across your program.

That is exactly what the Behavior Coaching Academy was built to help you do.

Director Of Curriculum, Sunnyside Preschool

"Attending the online Together We Grow coaching classes has been nothing short of transformative. Prerna Richard's coaching has provided me with invaluable tools that have not only enhanced my own teaching but have also empowered me to better guide my fellow teachers through their classroom challenges."

"This program helps to manage classroom teachers and children. It was absolutely amazing, and I took away so many things that help me understand other staff and children on a whole new level. Well-explained information around positive response as an intervention to behavior."

"One of the many tools I learned from Prerna's coaching was to take 90 seconds to pause before reacting. This strategy has completely changed how I coach. It helped me shift from frustration to true collaboration."
