NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Mary Rivers, Ed.D.

I help education leaders like you retain new teachers so that you can focus on developing them and break free from the hiring nightmares! Additionally, I teach education leaders how to provide ongoing support for mid- and late- career teachers.

As an educator for over two decades, I know what it is like to be a teacher at each stage of one's career with little or no support. Having engaged in peer-reviewed research with dozens of new teachers, I know what it takes to provide the support that will develop and retain your teachers.
