Our Impact

Teach for America (TFA) is a national organization that works towards the day when every child will receive an excellent and equitable education. The team at TFA Metro Atlanta sought support in developing a deeper understanding of Social Emotional Learning so they could, in turn, support Corp Members (teachers) in their own development and implementation of SEL.

Heart Shift Consulting was hired to conduct a series of trainings with the core regional team, multiple trainings with the Corps Members, and to develop key team SEL materials (wellness guide and a training toolkit).

Estrella High School leader Willi Sanchez came to Heart Shift Consulting knowing exactly what she wanted- to expand Restorative Practices (RP) at her school. A small school team completed formal training with IIRP a year prior, and it was time to train the entire faculty and staff on the practices that would shape the school culture moving forward.

Over two consecutive days, the school faculty and staff completed the first two days of RP- Intro to Restorative Practice and Using Circles Effectively. Each day composed of asynchronous learning in the morning, and virtual instruction/practice in the afternoon.

Participant Feedback:

"I thought Kori was a super engaging and skillful facilitator. She was a great model for how to facilitate Circles and discussions in general."

"This training was inclusive for all staff members and that was most appreciated. Often I feel left out, but not with this training. Thanks!"

"I really and truly enjoyed this training. Your energy really made it easy to engage and keep interested. Thank you so much for you time Kori!"

Client Feedback:

"The first thing Kori did was make it clear that this training was about my school and the students we serve and that her goal was to support me in tailoring it to be as effective as possible. She was engaging, personable and was able to build a connection with my staff virtually that I have not seen accomplished with other presenters. I'm excited to see what we are able to do with the tools she has shared!"

Hands on Atlanta is a Georgia non profit that maximizes and mobilizes volunteerism in Atlanta and beyond. One of their many service opportunities places AmeriCorps volunteers into local public schools.

In order to best equip their volunteers with the knowledge and skills to meet the needs of the students they support, Heart Shift Consulting was hired to conduct two trainings on Social Emotional Learning. The first training took place before school began, and the second was held at the end of the first semester. Using participant feedback, the training sessions were designed to address the questions and concerns most important to them.
