Staff Experiences

Core Lessons Foundations Training™

With Greg Sommers, LPC, Founder

A one day professional development experience designed to reaffirm educator purpose and strengthen the relational foundation of the classroom. Staff learn experiential facilitation techniques and engage directly with Core Lessons™ so they leave confident in how to use the curriculum through lived experience, not just instruction.

Elevate Core Lessons: Refresher Training™

With Greg Sommers, LPC, Founder

An energizing, interactive one-day refresher designed to renew and elevate the power and purpose of Core Lessons™. Even strong, well-implemented practices can settle into familiar rhythms over time. Core Lessons™ may begin to feel more predictable, and while they remain valuable, there can be opportunities to deepen the dialogue and increase their impact. At times, the focus can shift toward moving through the lesson rather than fully maximizing the space for meaningful conversations that strengthen students’ well-being and life skills. This refresher training helps staff build on what is already working, raise the bar on facilitation, and bring fresh energy and intention to Core Lessons™ implementation.

The Attached Classroom™

With Greg Sommers, LPC, Founder

The Attached Classroom™ equips educators to look beyond misbehavior and recognize the relational patterns that drive it. Students bring attachment patterns into the classroom that shape how they respond to authority, correction, and stress.

Through an attachment informed lens, teachers learn to see anxious, avoidant, and ambivalent responses as communication rather than defiance. Participants gain practical tools to reduce escalation, create emotional safety, maintain clear expectations, and build trust with reactive or withdrawn students.

This approach moves beyond behavior management and into relationship centered practice where students feel safe enough to learn and teachers feel equipped to lead.

Student Leadership From the Inside Out™

With Greg Sommers, LPC, Founder

An immersive leadership experience that helps students understand the power of their influence and lead from the inside out. Through meaningful challenge, shared commitment, and a high energy atmosphere, student leaders unite around purpose and learn to serve their peers, strengthen school culture, and use their influence with intention.

Core Day™

With Greg Sommers, LPC, Founder

A three hour student experience that builds connection, strengthens community, and creates a shared sense of belonging. Through interactive large group activities and guided discussion, students learn to give and receive support while discovering how much they truly have in common. For schools using Core Lessons, Core Day also serves as a strong start to the year by engaging staff and student leaders in creating a culture of connection and growth.
