Professional Development by teachers and for teachers designed to inform, influence and inspire.

Building excellence for all students by focusing on Equity, Culturally Responsive Pedagogy and Music Education

Todays teachers need to be able to inform, influence and inspire all types of students while staying balanced and empowered to continue to grow themselves.

When student belong in the learning spaces and trust their learning communities, they will achieve and succeed.

Peter (left) found inspiration from his middle school teacher, Jake Bergevin, who helped foster a genuine love of music. Like many incredible teachers who inspire, Mr. Bergevin is one of the reasons Peter joined the profession. Now a passionate educator himself, Peter shares his love of teaching in sessions and workshops from Puget Sound region and across the nation.

Feedback from workshops:

I attended Peter’s workshop last spring and came away with so many things to implement in my classroom. Peter’s presentation was insightful and inspiring and just what I needed to make it through the end of the year. I look forward to learning more from him in the future!

Peter is a phenomenal educator with philosophies that will live on for the betterment of our students and teachers. His instruction provides a realistic and compassionate approach for those in low demographic schools (and everywhere), giving you tools and thought processes that you can use to shape a personal and reformative look at your teaching, and your relationship to your students. Highly recommend this workshop!

Peter is totally just as good (and I’d say better even) than Grace Dearborn. I don’t want to see him leave the classroom, but definitely have him do more training for all staff.
