Welcome! I’m glad you stopped by.
I’m Tara Kassi. I’m an author, educator, consultant, presenter, and idea girl. My most recent project was developing Teach for Transformation: A Social-Emotional Learning Experience for teachers and students–a deceptively simple approach to teaching social-emotional skills in the classroom, with no stress and little to no prep.
Teachers in the classroom today have it tough. Kids today are different than they were even 5 or 10 years ago. So are the parents. Parent-teacher communication has also changed. With the increase use of email and texting between parents and teachers, teachers need a practical tool to be able to respond to the oftentimes challenging communication they receive from parents. That’s why I created Responding to Nasty Angry Abusive Unpleasant Parent Emails. This ebook teaches teachers how to respond to those challenging parent emails so they get a positive response in return. It’s a skill anyone can learn. It is a must for your teacher toolbox.
I have a passion for working with teachers and translating educational research into practical teaching strategies–that actually work.
Here I share my best practice ideas, tips, and strategies for classroom teachers to help them “get the biggest bang for their buck” with the least amount of time, energy, and resources so that they can have a greater impact on students.
In spite of the ever-increasing demands you face every day, your contribution as an educator is so much more than simply surviving–you were created to thrive.
My 20 years of experience in education, as both a classroom teacher and a school administrator, and presently as a professional trainer and coach, gives me the ability to see situations from a variety of perspectives and craft solutions that are in the best interest of the child while engaging parents, teachers, and administrators as partners.
If you have a passion for learning and teaching, and you need more margin your life, you’ve come to the right place.
