Transform Your School with the Synergetic Education Institute

“The Synergetic Education Institute recently completed a year-long comprehensive professional development course of study for 40 key teacher leaders in our district, and customized a professional learning program to meet our district needs from the ground up. Passionate about deepening the relationship among stakeholders to advance excellence in education, it was like working with a colleague who gets it, like working with one of your best teammates from within district. The wealth of experience, knowledge and leadership skills was extremely valuable to me as the program design, output and results far exceeded other ‘canned’ professional development we had been using from typical vendors.” 

-Diane Lauer, Ed.D., Assistant Superintendent, St. Vrain School District

“As a school counselor, I felt seen, heard, validated and supported. It was such an encouragement, as we navigate the challenges  and impacts of a pandemic, including seeing youth anxiety and depression on the rise. I walked away with strategies I could implement right away for myself, and in my work with students and educators.  I felt empowered to support my students with tools of co-regulation.  At the Synergetic Education Institute they understand the complexities of working in schools. The balance of a depth of knowledge with practical application, supported our group of over 100 educators, school-based mental health professionals, and school leaders, in feeling re-energized about the important work we are all doing in the world of education!”

–Kelsey Prather, Middle School Counselor

 “Thank you so much for this wonderful course full of real-world application!  I have learned so much! It’s literally been one of the best courses I’ve taken in 10 years.”

–Meghan Trowbridge, Assistant Director/Research Assistant Professor, University of South Carolina, University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities

“This course has helped me regain my belief in my effectiveness as a teacher. I am incorporating skills and strategies daily and seeing changes in myself and my students.”

-Stephanie Kumpel, Elementary School Teacher

“This is one of the best courses I’ve participated in. The depth of information and understanding of how to relate to students is invaluable. It was presented in ways that benefit both educator and student and gave me realistic strategies. It’s also the first course I’ve taken that actually made it ok for the teacher to be human, too. I’m already seeing results with my students!”

-Janet G. Franks, NBCT/ENS, EdS, Teacher, Lakeside Intermediate School

“This course has re-shaped the way I think about student behavior in the classroom. New information can’t be absorbed until a feeling of safety is established. As we begin to notice the various nervous system states of our students, we can help co-regulate with them and eventually give them tools to independently self-regulate. It’s a game-changer in how we approach the learning process and students’ needs, both inside and outside the classroom.”

-Elizabeth Kirk, K-12 Teacher, PSD Global Academy

“I have been learning and actively participating in social-emotional learning for years, I thought I knew what I was doing. However, this course helped me realize how teachers can make or break students’ thoughts of themselves and school.  Using these strategies can really support students’ learning and attitudes. I highly recommend it, whether you are brand new or a veteran, it will give you tools and insight to better support students both in the classroom and virtually.”

-Kristy Leesburg, Learning Resource Teacher

“This course was such a good balance of information and practical application. I feel empowered to support our staff, not only with knowledge that will help them better understand their students’ regulatory needs, but also equipped with strategies for people of all ages to use to regulate/co-regulate. I really felt this class took my knowledge about the neuroscience behind behavior and behavior change to the next level.”

-Trisha Rethinger Social Emotional Learning Specialist

“Absolutely transformative- connected the dots in ways I didn’t know needed connecting.”

-Michelle Tolison, School-Based Mental Health Professional

When a school, district, or educational agency is contemplating change, our customized programming includes the integration of existing and new systems and initiatives as this is foundational to the work.

  • We partner with educational settings to design, implement, and evaluate the most effective and coherent plan for moving forward.
  • Our partnerships include the ideation process of identifying short and long-term intended outcomes at the district, school, classroom and student level.
  • We work together to identify the current needs of the system, beginning with focusing on assets that are already in place, strengths within the system, and any potential barriers.
  • Considerations are made regarding existing federal, state and local regulations, how current systems and staff are evaluated through improvement planning processes, staff evaluation policies and procedures, student mastery learning measures, and culture and climate indicators from all stakeholders.
  • As part of this process, we begin connecting existing systems such as PBIS, instructional pedagogy and curriculum, and assessment practices.

We become part of your team, focused on your vision, working alongside you to create the change you envision.
