Welcome to The Inspired Classroom! My name’s Elizabeth Peterson and our focus here is on YOU, the teachers and parents who are with children every day. So – thank you for being here!

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