Your Teachers
Cannot Give
What They Do
Not Have.
A school's emotional culture starts with the adults in it. When teachers and administrators have the self-knowledge and communication skills to work through the hard moments, students feel it. When they do not, students feel that too.
The Team That Finds TGG
Is Looking for This.
Your third year of losing your best first-year teacher. She was excellent. Students responded to her. And somewhere in the second semester, the friction with the department chair became something she stopped being able to work around. Nobody had the language to name what was happening. HR had a process. The process did not touch the interpersonal dynamic driving the departure.
TGG gives school leadership teams and faculty the same clinical tools used in hospitals and doctoral programs worldwide. A validated map of how each person communicates, processes conflict, and operates under the specific pressure of an educational environment. And a shared language the team can use starting the following Monday.
The average cost of replacing a teacher is $20,000 per departure, including recruitment, onboarding, and lost instructional continuity. A school that retains its best teachers with a proactive EI culture investment pays for that investment many times over in the first year alone.
A year from now, the department chair and the new teacher have a shared language for what was creating the friction. The chair knows her own communication style under pressure and has started naming it before it escalates. The teacher knows she is not imagining the dynamic. They have tools for it. She is in her second year. She is good at this. She is staying.

From a School That Has Done the Work.
"My leadership team has used more from this professional development than any others they have taken in the past few years. God created all of us uniquely, but we often struggle knowing how to communicate with each other. Dr. Thurman led our team through personality understandings, book studies, and personal meetings."
"After going through the training with Dr. Thurman, I was not only more aware of myself, but more importantly, my colleagues and their needs and preferences. Our team grew closer as we understood each other better and established stronger connections between individuals and departments."
"It has helped me to think about how I address others with both facial expression and words. I connected with Dr. Thurman through a workshop in our school and the course has been very useful."
