Erika & Tiffany teach the art and science of building connected relationships for learning.
We became educators many miles apart, both with a genuine desire to make the world a better place. We were lucky enough to connect professionally just over a decade ago as students, writers, and educators in the same administrative licensure program. We were both moms of young children, working as dedicated teachers, and discovered we had the same vision for education. We were thrilled when we found administrative jobs within the same district. As we continued to grow together in the profession, we would often share stories, compare notes, and problem solve together.
This collaboration led us to write the book and start the movement:
Connecting Through Conversation.
“Connecting Through Conversation: A Playbook for Talking with Students is a timely and practical handbook for communicating with students of any age. Keeping connections and relationships at the center of the work, Erika and Tiffany provide immediate, applicable strategies to navigate even the most difficult conversations. This is a must read for all educators!”
