The PD problem
Teachers don't forget good professional development. They forget bad professional development — the kind where someone talks at them for six hours and calls it training.
The research is unambiguous: passive learning doesn't stick. And yet most PD still looks exactly the same as it did thirty years ago. Meanwhile, teacher burnout is at record highs, instructional coaches are stretched thin, and districts are spending thousands per teacher on training that evaporates by Monday morning.
There is a better way. And the science behind it has been around for decades.
The Solution
Training from the BACK of the Room is a brain-based facilitation framework that flips the traditional model. Instead of delivering information, TBR creates experiences — active, engaging, immediately applicable learning that the brain is actually built to retain.
Dení is one of a small number of certified TBR facilitators in the world. She has delivered certified professional development to educators across California and internationally — in classrooms, district offices, county offices of education, clinical settings, and college campuses.
Who It's For
For teachers
You'll walk away with a toolkit you can use tomorrow. Not theory. Not another binder. Practical strategies that make your lessons more engaging — and your planning less exhausting.
For coaches & TSAs
TBR will change how you design and deliver every professional learning session you run. Participants leave calling it a prerequisite for anyone who trains adults.
For district leaders
You'll finally have evidence-based PD your teachers actually ask to come back to — and a facilitation framework that standardizes the quality of adult learning across your entire district.
