What Margaret provides is so needed in schools right now.

The SEL strategies she teaches are extremely helpful to me as a person and as a teacher.

Her positive manner inspires me every time we interact.

She is a great role model for us as educators. Margaret embodies what she teaches.

— Melissa Cromarty, teacher, Churchill Community School

I have a new 8th grader who struggles with impulse control and interrupts constantly and I am watching myself become activated. 

I DID try the new strategy to guide the conversation and IT WAS AWESOME!

Honestly, I felt like a super teacher!

He was open, honest, and we talked about how he can be a great leader!

There was a total shift when I saw him later in class. And his friends felt it and stepped up, too. SO COOL!

Testimonials:

We invite you to listen to this video. These teachers and their colleagues just participated in a 3-hour professional development workshop learning similar concepts addressed in this program.

Prior to 2020, Margaret had the privilege of doing an extensive project for a school board director in the Netherlands. Here is what she said about the experience.

We hired Margaret Boersma to support teachers with our board’s vision. Teaching social and emotional learning inside a school curriculum and making it part of the company‘s goals improved the entire mission of our organization.

Working in close connection with the board, school director and lead teachers Margaret and her professional partner, facilitated a professional development day for lead teachers and a principal, presented a workshop for the school team and organized and coordinated the whole project with students (demonstration lessons) while working toward our school board vision.

Margaret’s experience and expertise regarding social emotional skills is amazing. She brought a lot of knowledge, experience and eagerness to learn about SEL into our schools. Margaret is absolutely a professional leader in organizing a program in SEL for a  school organization! We plan on having Margaret continue training at the school board/district level in the near future.

— Marian Bakker, School Board Ultiem, The Netherlands

In her interactions with learners of all ages, adults and children, Margaret Boersma embodies the social-emotional skills she teaches. She is a master of attentive listening and communication, a coach that values, supports, and empowers her clients.

— Cindy Sisti, Teacher, York Region District School Board

Perhaps why I think so highly of what she does is because her approach really lets children do the mental process for themselves and "arrive” at the intended thoughtful destination instead of disseminating information. She functions at the top of the Blooms Taxonomy - where most teachers rarely go.  

— Susan Ciminelli, Executive Director, White Waves Education Consulting

Margaret Boersma’s experience and expertise regarding social emotional literacy/skills is outstanding! She has offered many programs in different places across Canada and the United States as well as in Holland and New Zealand. Anyone who is looking for guidance on how to teach and support children/students, you won't look elsewhere when you see what Boersma has to offer. She has impacted countless students, educators and parents around the world.
