School and District Training

Ashlyn, founder of The Village, is a licensed educator with three degrees and over a dozen years of experience in the field. Having worked with students in pre-k-8, she has a wide range of experiences and understanding of what it’s like to be in the unique setting that is each grade level. 

 

With a background in PBIS and authoritative teaching, Ashlyn quickly realized that neither of these things leads to actual internal behavioral change in our students, and wanted to find out what would make that change. 

 

Fast forward a few years, multiple courses and an entire degree later, Ashlyn stands behind the principles of conscious classroom management which is a blend of conscious parenting techniques, responsive classroom, trauma informed practice, and need-meeting. With this technique, Ashlyn has personally seen the ways that this technique can transform a classroom dynamic and learning outcomes. Furthermore, through her work with thousands of educators across the globe, she is also seeing similar success.

✨ "I would want educators and other adults who work with middle schoolers to know how much my students have benefited this year by having access to skills and strategies that allow them to survive and thrive during the emotional and social trials of being pre-teens. I have already seen a difference in the language the students are using and the choices they are making in difficult situations. I am so excited that I get to be a part of helping gain the knowledge, skills, and strategies that will help them navigate social conflict throughout their lives."

✨ "I had a really fantastic experience during my mentorship with Ashlyn. She was incredibly knowledgeable and resourceful, and really helped me with establishing what kind of routines and expectations I want in my classroom as well as how to get there while having a conscious and joyful approach to teaching. We also troubleshoot a lot of tricky behaviors that I’m seeing lately and the best way for me to approach these behaviors and what boundaries look like for these situations."
