During my career, I mentored many new teachers and understand the challenges new teachers face. I am passionate about helping them feel empowered and equipped for their role in education.
“As a new teacher, Shannon was an amazing resource for me! Her guidance and support to develop strategies to meet the needs of struggling learners, have difficult conversations with parents, and in general, navigate the overwhelming nature of the role as a new teacher were invaluable.”
Paige, New Special Education Teacher
“Shannon’s book and workshop taught me so much about being a new teacher. Her book is written in a way that I can easily go back and reference the chapters when I need to, and she uses many personal real-life examples and ideas that I can bring into the classroom. The workshop made me feel supported and showed me that others are going through the same struggles as a new teacher.”
Megan MacDonald, Occasional Teacher
