The SELebrate Good Times Team
Kim, Founder & CEO
That's me! I'm Kim, the founder & CEO of SELebrate Good Times! With my extensive experience in the classroom and a deep understanding of the power of Social Emotional Learning (SEL), I'm on a mission to help educators like you feel happier, lighter, calmer, and confident in your classroom. I give you the HOW...not just the "stuff."
💖 Teaching is hard. It's probably one of the toughest jobs out there right now. We've gone through so many changes, and setbacks, and newness, and our administrators are constantly looking for answers to make things better. But they're not getting better. In fact, in some schools, they're getting worse.
Our students are coming to us with more diverse needs, big behaviors, and loads of trauma. And as teachers, we're finding ourselves feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, lonely, and desperately searching for answers.
But there are answers. There is a way for it to be easy. Your classroom can feel calm. And you don't have to do this work alone.
Here at SELebrate Good Times, we're the lifeboat that you've been searching for. We're here to give you the answers that you need to take your classroom from chaos to calm, and connect you to a community of heart-centered educators who will breathe life into you so you can fall back in love with teaching.
We're coaching and mentorship right in your back pocket so you can live each day without feeling like you're pouring from an empty cup. Because you're not meant to do this work alone. And you can't do your job if you don't feel seen, valued, and supported. THAT is why SELebrate Good Times exists. That's what I want for you. That's the work that we do together.
But I also can't do this work alone. And that's why I have a TEAM of phenomenal Mentor Teachers. So we can reach, support, and love on even more educators across the nation. You've heard a little bit about me...now it's time to get to know the Team!
Our Mentor Teachers ✨
Debbie - Positivity Powerhouse
Debbie is our resident Positivity Powerhouse! Her contagious energy and enthusiasm light up every room she enters. As a seasoned educator and a mama to three high school kids, Debbie truly understands the challenges that both students and educators face daily.
💖 With her commitment to helping teachers feel confident and in control, Debbie shares practices and strategies that actually SOLVE the problems educators experience in their classrooms.
"It's all about creating a sense of belonging and changing lives for the better by giving teachers, students, and families the REAL support they need. I am excited to continue to bridge the gap in Social Emotional Learning and fill in the cracks in the foundation of the education system." - Debbie
Katie - Joy Generator
Meet Katie, our Joy Generator! Her fun, playful, and loving energy is instantly contagious, and she has a knack for grounding us all with her positivity and her TAKE ACTION mentality.
💖 As a mama of two littles, Katie is the epitome of that educator who gets on the ground and runs alongside the teachers she supports in the classroom. With an open heart and a toolbox full of strategies, Katie is dedicated to helping teachers transform their classrooms from chaos to calm.
She knows she is making a difference when she receives an email days after leaving a classroom and the teacher is telling her how her classroom feels so much calmer, and how she feels like she can keep going. This is transformational work, not a Band-Aid.
"It's all about the mindset! If you want change in your teaching, you've got to be willing to be vulnerable and try new things. That's the best part of mentoring. I get to help teachers do that in a safe space." - Katie
Jenny - Empowerment Enthusiast
Whether you're working with her in person or virtually, Jenny, our Empowerment Enthusiast, has a gift for making everyone feel seen, valued, and heard. She is committed to supporting administrators in taking ACTION so that educators across the nation get the support they need and deserve.
💖 Jenny's superpowers include boosting engagement inside AND outside the classroom, sharing executive functioning strategies, maximizing teaching time, decreasing behavior referrals, and building out that toolbox of strategies that actually WORK. As a mentor, she prioritizes listening, and ensures that her teachers feel seen, valued, and heard. She meets them where they are, and then provides actionable steps that help them regain their calm and focus on what truly matters - teaching.
"Recently, a middle school teacher shared that her students are showing greater empathy and improved time management compared to past years. I couldn't agree more. This is a testament to the outstanding work done by the elementary teachers who laid down that foundation. Witnessing these changes is truly my favorite part of this journey!" -Jenny
