The Teaching Well Services

Coaching, Professional Development, and more

We can no longer bypass the teacher to get to the student.

Our work keeps educators in the field, allowing for school cultures to stabilize, enabling students to learn and communities to thrive. Our work is identity forward and rooted in research. We work at the intersections of Adult Socio-emotional Learning (SEL), Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice (DEIJ), Trauma Healing, and Wellness.

The Teaching Well partners with schools, districts, non-profits, and companies across the country to stabilize adult cultures and create thriving ecosystems that more effectively retain, support, and leverage the brilliance of their teams. We work at the personal, interpersonal, and systemic levels to shift professional teams towards greater wellness and sustainability for all.

  • “During our recent session Marisol shared the concept of deacceleration. I found it very useful as it helped me realize that I don't take the time to intentionally focus and plan the things I need to do for myself. With this realization I will take the time to organize things that I need to get done but also allow time for self care.”

    Jessica Rivera, PUENTE LC

  • "The Teaching Well's support has been instrumental in helping me navigate numerous workplace challenges, especially those related to burnout and personal sustainability. The Teaching Well's commitment to equity aligns with my values as a leader, and their skill in guiding me through periods of significant stress and anxiety at work has been invaluable."

  • "Jill and Lindsey have offered our organization the support and tools to intentionally surface and center our values and align our actions accordingly. Their steady leadership support has been a touchstone where we feel seen, uplifted, and held accountable with love. This internal work is foundational and necessary to our mission of supporting the well-being of public education employees across the State of Oregon.

Signature Model Services

We know that healing is not linear, and it also does not happen over night.

The Teaching Well’s Signature Model services are 3 to 5 year all-staff engagements that work at the personal, interpersonal and systemic levels to build healthy org cultures.

The services combine whole team Professional Development, Leadership Coaching, Mindful Mentoring for staff, and Research. This multi-tiered approach helps to create a common language for teams to not only do the work of self-care, but to expand into collective care.
