Bethany will personally connect with you to learn about your school and your goals.
23
Years in the Classroom
She Has Lived Everything She Teaches
Teaching is one of the most demanding things a person can do. You are managing a classroom full of children who each come in with different needs, different home environments, different emotional states, and different ways of learning, and you are expected to meet all of them, every single day, while also working alongside other adults, communicating with parents, and keeping the environment running the way it should.
Most professional development does not touch any of that. It gives you theory, frameworks, and strategies that sound good in a training room but are hard to apply when you are standing in front of 20 children and one of them is shutting down completely.
Bethany's work is different because she has lived everything she teaches.
She spent 23 years in the classroom.
She consulted with schools for over 10 years.
She owned a Montessori school that served students from early childhood through 12th grade, which means she understands the classroom, the teachers, the assistants, the administrators, the parents, the curriculum, and the full culture of a school from the inside out.
When she comes to your school, she is not bringing a generic workshop. She is bringing tools, techniques, and language that your team can use the next morning.
What Bethany Trains On
Built Around the Real Challenges Montessori Educators Face Every Day
Her workshops and trainings are grounded in decades of hands-on experience, not from a textbook.
Engaging the Unreachable Child
Engaging the child who seems unreachable; understanding what they are communicating before trying to change what they are doing.
The Need Underneath the Behavior
Understanding the need underneath the behavior, so your team can respond rather than react, and actually reach the child in front of them.
Teacher & Assistant Collaboration
Strengthening how teachers and assistants work together — the shared language and trust that make the classroom run.
Curriculum That Meets the Child
Developing curriculum that actually meets the child where they are, not where the scope and sequence says they should be.
The Prepared Environment
Creating a prepared environment where both the adults and the children can thrive, not just function, but genuinely grow.
Music, Movement & Observation
Music, movement, observation skills, and practical classroom strategies that come from decades of hands-on experience, not from a textbook.
Whether your school needs a staff training, a parent education workshop, administrator support, classroom consultation, curriculum development, or a full school keynote, Bethany can shape the experience around exactly what your community needs.
Who This Is For
Montessori school owners and administrators who want their staff trained by someone who has done the work at every level. Teachers and assistants who are looking for practical tools they can use immediately, not just inspiration. Parent groups who want a deeper understanding of how to support their child at home and at school. Private schools, charter schools, and educational organizations that want something more grounded and specific than a motivational speaker.
If your school is growing, your team is stretched, or you have children who are harder to reach than they used to be, this is a conversation worth having.
FROM THE LEADERS SHE'S TRAINED
What People Say After Working With Bethany
★★★★★
"Working with Bethany was a really valuable experience for me. She is highly professional, supportive, and has a very clear and structured way of explaining things that makes it much easier to understand yourself and your patterns. What I especially appreciated is how she doesn't just talk about concepts, but also provides well-organized visual materials and PDFs that help you actually see and process things on a deeper level. She has a great ability to see connections and reflect things back in a way that shifts your perspective. At the same time, she brings a very positive, encouraging, and uplifting energy into her work. You can really feel the amount of time, care, and effort she puts into her clients, and that makes a huge difference."
★★★★★
"I had the opportunity to work with Bethany for around 10 one-hour sessions, and it truly made a difference in my life. From the very beginning, she took the time to really understand me: my goals, my struggles, and where I felt stuck. What stood out most was how personalized everything was. She didn't just give generic advice; she created a clear, step-by-step plan tailored specifically to me, which made it so much easier to take action and stay consistent. Through her guidance, I've gained more clarity, confidence, and direction than I've had in a long time. I feel more in control of my life and much more aligned with where I want to go. I'm genuinely happy with what I've achieved thanks to her support, and I would highly recommend working with her to anyone who is ready to grow and make real changes."

Questions Schools Often Ask
Montessori schools, private schools, charter schools, and educational organizations. Bethany has experience at every level, from early childhood through 12th grade, which means she can work across the full range of a school's community, not just one classroom or one grade.
Whether your school needs staff training, a parent education workshop, administrator support, classroom consultation, curriculum development, or a full school keynote, Bethany can shape the experience around exactly what your community needs. She does not offer a fixed package — she builds the proposal around your school specifically.
Most professional development gives you theory, frameworks, and strategies that sound good in a training room but are hard to apply when you are standing in front of 20 children and one of them is shutting down completely. Bethany's work is different because she has lived everything she teaches: 23 years in the classroom, 10+ years of school consulting, and experience as a Montessori school owner. When she comes to your school, she is not bringing a generic workshop. She is bringing tools, techniques, and language that your team can use the next morning.
That depends on what your school needs. Teachers and assistants who are looking for practical tools they can use immediately. Administrators who want to understand the work their staff is doing. Parent groups who want a deeper understanding of how to support their child at home and at school.
