MTEL + Licensure Preparation
Executive Function Support
We are always looking to make a bigger impact with our work by partnering with likeminded organizations and individuals.
Our Why
Through our work with thousands of educators, we’ve identified critical gaps and inequities in traditional teacher preparation—especially for neurodivergent educators and those who speak English as a second language.
What started as a mission to support teachers has expanded as we’ve seen firsthand the power of executive function strategies in transforming not just classrooms, but careers and daily life. Now, we help educators, professionals, and busy adults develop the organization, time management, and productivity skills they need to thrive—whether in teaching, coaching, or beyond.
Workshop Feedback
“Thank you both for your thoughtful and articulate presentation today. I am happy for those people who came and sad for those who missed the real pearls of wisdom that you shared!”
“Your presentation yesterday was great. You managed to pack so much helpful information into a short time and did it in such a warm and enthusiastic way! I know that those who attended learned a lot.”
MTEL Success
“Christine and Georgia are genuine, caring, and kind. They took a real interest in “me.”
They wanted to know my learning style, are supportive and positive, and answered all my questions.
Not only did they help me pass my MTELs, but they brought me back to a place of believing in myself”
