Welcome to Educate and Elevate!
About Us
At Educate and Elevate, we support teachers and educators who are committed to educating the whole child and creating classrooms where every student feels seen, valued, and supported.
Our work is grounded in the belief that learning is relational and that meaningful, inclusive classrooms are built through continuous professional growth. Using our ABC Framework, we invite educators to both learn and live the ABCs each day with our “daily cup of alphabet soup” by centering practices such as Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB), Restorative Practices (RP), and trauma-informed care.
We help educators move from systems of control to cultures of community, supporting a shift in classroom practice that prioritizes connection, care, and shared responsibility. This cultural shift allows classrooms to become spaces where students experience safety, belonging, and meaningful opportunities for academic, social, and emotional growth.
Through workshops, professional learning experiences, virtual opportunities, resources, and practical tools, we partner with educators to build inclusive learning environments that are responsive, restorative, and sustaining for both students and adults.
Educate and Elevate is for educators who believe in social growth opportunities for each and every student, who value reflection and growth, and who are dedicated to creating classrooms and school communities hat truly thrive.
