FRANCES
LEARY

Meet Frances Leary.

Frances is a dynamic speaker, author, and trainer who has traveled in the US, Canada, Europe and Africa, engaging audiences and inspiring positive change. As an educator she earned National Board Certification in English/Language arts and has experience teaching in elementary, middle, and high school classrooms, as well as at the university level. Her approach to teaching and training has been highly influenced by her master’s degree in folklore. Folklore can be defined as the transmission of human beliefs through cultural communication, and Frances takes a “folkloric approach” to teaching. This process of examining and considering diverse worldviews, cultural backgrounds, learning styles, and more, is indispensable to the educational process. However, in today’s world, teachers are so often overwhelmed with classroom management distractions and other time-sucking and emotionally-draining efforts that transformative teaching and learning can fall to the wayside.

Frances helps educators overcome these challenges and so they can put teaching and learning back at the center of their classroom experiences. She entertains and inspires educators while delivering practical tools and strategies that transform today’s classrooms.
