PARENT GUIDE

Increase Transparency & Trust

"We started out on a process pursuing a company that can fill our [well-being] needs well over a year ago. It was made very clear to us from the school board and administrators that we needed to find a program that best fit [the culture of our] community. We did an exhaustive search, and I have personally vetted 13 different programs. We opened and went through [a formal] RFP bidding process. After that process we had an evaluation committee that evaluated the [top four well-being programs]. In Focus was hands down the top responsive bidder—not just in price but also in product."

Jason Owen

Director of Federal Programs and Curriculum, Snowflake Unified School District

"Twenty years of experience as an educator has given me opportunities to connect with high-quality educators. There are few educators that know how to engage in effective instruction, coaching, and leadership at a high level. Amy is the exception. Amy’s extensive background in curriculum content and skill in instruction gives her the unique ability to empower teachers and leaders alike through high-quality instruction and coaching."

Alex Judd

Assistant Superintendent, Provo City School District

"The In Focus teacher well-being training was a nice refresher for some of the basic needs that we tend to forget about when things get hectic. Examples: regulating emotions, communicating, and resilience, to name a few. It helped me to be more aware of new things and be able to apply them to my life."

Teacher

PPEP TEC, Tucson Arizona

"The In Focus curriculum teaches us something other than Math and English. I learned new things that helped me see what I can improve on and what I am doing well at."

Student

Malad High School, Idaho

"The In Focus well-being teacher training helped me to see how important it is to take care of myself, have personal time to ponder, and grow to be able to actually help and have better communication and connection with my students."

Teacher

PPEP TEC, Tucson Arizona

"I like the interactive teacher well-being sessions and Amy was very personable. I learned to be more understanding about my students’ limitations and problems. It helped me gather ideas for future use with students. It also let me know about communication, creativity, empathy, etc."

Teacher

PPEP TEC, Tucson Arizona

"I think just being able to talk about our problems and solutions as teachers was a big help in getting everyone's point of view and learning from each other. I really liked how Amy would always take something from our comments, give us feedback, and make a connection with us."

Teacher

PPEP TEC, Tucson Arizona

"I like that the In Focus curriculum teaches life skills that I will need now and forever. I like learning new ways to better myself and be better for others."

In Focus Professional Development reflects research-based best practice strategies that teachers can incorporate into their own classrooms. We provide hands-on, engaging opportunities for teachers to reflect, collaborate, and experience our curriculum. The professional learning is customized to your teachers’ needs and learning objectives and builds long-term relationships, ownership, and accountability through a structured approach.
Administrator and teacher training can be facilitated separately or simultaneously, depending on district goals and timing.

In Focus offers professional development options for teachers, staff, and administrators. We provide both digital and face-to-face platforms for professional development training opportunities. Prior to the delivery of professional development, In Focus will meet with district/school administrators in a pre-training consultation, in which learning objectives and agenda are established and clarified.
