Educators are being asked to do more than ever—support increasingly diverse learning needs, respond to trauma, implement inclusive practices, and still sustain themselves in the process. For many teachers, professional development around ADHD and neurodivergence is insightful, but also overwhelming. The more we learn about best practices, the wider the gap can feel between theory and what’s actually possible to implement day to day.

That’s why we’re excited to share an upcoming seminar led by Jenny Bethke of ADHD Coaching:

How to Implement Neurodivergent and Trauma-Informed Education Methods Sustainably

This session is designed specifically for educators who want to support neurodivergent students — without burning themselves out in the process.

Rather than adding another layer of “shoulds” to an already full plate, this training bridges the gap between understanding and application. Participants will explore the science behind ADHD minds and bodies, gain insight into the lived experiences of students with ADHD, and learn why many well-intended strategies feel unsustainable in real classrooms.

Most importantly, this seminar centers the educator as a human being.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A clearer understanding of how ADHD and trauma impact learning and regulation
  • Mindset shifts that reduce overwhelm and increase sustainability
  • Practical, realistic tools you can use immediately
  • Strategies that support both student success and educator well-being

Because educators aren’t robots — they’re humans working with humans. This session honors that reality, offering concrete strategies that help educators stay regulated, engaged, and able to show up consistently for all students.
