Sheila believes educators have the toughest job in America. She understands that students come into our classrooms and schools with different backgrounds and cultures—and their cognitive abilities, assets and experiences are just as wide ranging. A “one size fits all” approach does not work.

Most importantly, she leaves educators with proven, practical strategies they can implement immediately to produce Whicked Results!
