What others are saying:

“As a veteran educator of 40+ years, and as a current teacher of future teachers, I can think of few colleagues who inspire me the way Peter Briggs does. His manner, professionalism, reality-based insights, his “story”, are uplifting, motivating, and help me revisit all that I’ve loved about being a teacher.” – University Professor

“In his work as a music teacher, Peter creates a space where each and every student makes meaningful growth in a way that develops their sense of belonging and self-efficacy. In his work with adult learners, Peter clearly articulates the theory behind the actions he lives out in the classroom every day and provides structures for teachers to integrate that theory back into their own practice.” – High School Instructional Coach

“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!” – High School Teacher

“This workshop is a fantastic opportunity for you as an educator to dive deeper into the why and how of interacting with your students! Peter Briggs is concise, articulate and passionate about reaching students at their level and inspiring them into their own best potential. He will inspire you in your teaching as well. Check it out, you won’t regret it!” – Middle School Teacher
