Two signature trainings
The Happy Teacher
For teachers, schools & districts. A toolkit of practical, joy-forward strategies drawn from Caroline’s “R” framework that put the energy back into teaching while helping teachers meet educational standards. [The full list of “R” strategies to be confirmed with Caroline before publishing.]
- Designed for: full-class participation, renewed teacher energy, standards-aligned strategies
- Format: workshop, half-day, or multi-session series
- Audience: K–8 teachers, instructional coaches, whole staffs
For the first time, every student in class participated in our reading lesson. The Happy Teacher training saved my teaching life.

Nature-Wise
Professional development that prepares teachers to blend literacy, outdoor exploration, and oneness with nature. Inspired by the story at the heart of Harriet Tubman, Force of Nature, it helps young people see the natural world as friend, partner, and guide while building reading and writing skills. A student-facing Nature-Wise program is offered separately — this training equips educators to lead it.
- Designed for: stronger literacy skills, outdoor engagement, a renewed sense of place
- Format: workshop or classroom-embedded series
- Audience: K–8 teachers & environmental educators
