Give Your Teachers the Professional Development They Actually Want

Your teachers want to grow and improve—they just need training that actually helps them work smarter, not harder, using tools that won't fail them when they need them most.

Improve academic achievement

Increase student engagement

Make teachers’
lives easier

Empowered, confident teachers are your school’s greatest asset. But sometimes, “professional development” feels like punishment!

Sound familiar? You plan a professional development day, hoping to inspire and equip your teachers. Instead, you get:

Eye rolls and sighs when you announce the next PD session. Teachers see it as time away from their "real work" instead of something that helps them succeed.

Teachers who feel burned by technology. They've tried tools that failed them, so now they stick to what they know. It's not that they're scared—they just don't have time to troubleshoot when things go wrong.

Information overload with no practical application. Teachers walk away with pages of notes they'll never look at again because they don't know where to start or how to make it work in their real classrooms.

Burnout and frustration. When technology becomes another daily struggle instead of a helpful tool, everyone suffers. Teachers lose confidence, students lose interest, and administrators feel stuck.

Professional Development for Real-World Teaching

I’m Jacey Erickson—your educational technology expert.

I understand the challenge because I've lived it.

As a licensed educator with real classroom experience, I know what it feels like to be juggling so many responsibilities that learning new technology feels like just one more thing on your plate.

What sets me apart is my focus on powerful, classroom-tested, FREE EdTech tools that won't let teachers down.

Here’s how it works:

We Plan Together

I learn about your school's specific needs and current technology challenges. We customize the content to address what matters most to your teachers. You get a clear outline of practical, free tools your teachers will actually use.

Your Teachers Get an Engaging Experience

I offer interactive workshops or inspiring keynotes that keep teachers engaged, hands-on practice with free tools that work reliably in real classrooms, and real examples that show teachers exactly how to save time and enhance learning.

We Make It Stick

Teachers receive resources and materials to continue learning, access to my comprehensive "90 Free Tech Tools for Teachers" guide, and the option for follow-up sessions to answer questions and build confidence. All sessions can also be set up to qualify for continuing education credits.

Jacey Helps Elevate My Students’ Technology Learning

“My students love it when she comes in, and even though they call her the Blooket lady, they know she teaches them so much more! They were excited to hear they still will have a chance to learn from her next year. Jacey is able to help elevate their technology learning through the years and expand on what they learned the previous year. She is a great asset to our team.”
