“Everything I learn from Elizabeth comes alive within my classroom helping me to reach all learners.”

Marianne Nicol-Curry

Early Education Teacher

“These workshops are about going through the process of creating at our own level. We experience the excitement and uncertainty, the thought process, the focus, the challenge, the disappointment, the problem solving and the joy. We go through all that on our own level. And then as teachers, we find a way to bring this to our students.”

Taylor Carroll

K-8 Music Teacher

“I just took a class from another site. It was this big $800 course and I’ve learned nothing compared to what I get out of your workshops and retreats.”

K-8 Art Teacher

Welcome! I’m Elizabeth!

After 27+ years in the classroom (and still going strong), I’ve learned one powerful truth: When we lean into creativity and connection, everything changes.

I’ve worked with teachers who are exhausted, stuck in survival mode, and struggling with classroom management and behavior issues that drain their energy. But when you start tapping into your OWN creativity—using the arts to connect with students, to bring meaning into lessons, and to shift the classroom dynamic—something changes. The stress eases. The engagement rises. The joy returns.

 

That’s what I want for you.

 

If you’re ready to finally enjoy teaching again—to create a calm, connected classroom, engage your students in meaningful learning, and reclaim your personal time—WELCOME – this is the place for you.

 

 

 You have students who aren’t engaged and who aren’t inspired . . .

 

Not all students are wired the same way.  (You know that.)  They need more hands-on experiences in their learning!  Arts integration is one of the best ways to reach many students through whole body and whole mind learning.

 

So many students who struggle with content will light up when that content comes alive through an arts integrated lesson!

 

And here’s the best kept secret about how to inspire your students:

First you must inspire yourself!

At The Inspired Classroom, we are all about being teacher-centered.   Since 2005, we have been giving workshops, hosting teacher retreats and designing online courses for teachers.  And we know that the best way for you to inspire your students is to be given the respect you deserve and the resources you need!

 

So be sure to check out what we have available for you here! 

 

And GET Inspired, so you can BE Inspiring to your students!

Kids need an outlet for expressing themselves and their emotions, and the arts are the most effective way to do that. SEAL gave me a framework that’s flexible to use with all K-12 students. Even my non-verbal autistic students participate in SEAL activities and enjoy it.

The impact of SEAL on my students’ success each year has been huge. My students and I connect on a deeper level because of the artistic learning we do. They also connect with each other, which really does create that ‘caring community of empathetic learners’ that Elizabeth talks about.

If building social-emotional competencies is a priority for your district, you won’t find a more effective way to do it than SEAL.”
