Hi, I’m Dr. Rebecca Branstetter, school psychologist and founder of Thriving Students.
I have had 3000 students on my caseload. The national average is just under 1200.
I have spent my days running around, frazzled, and putting out emotional fires all day long.
I have ruined soooooo many weekends working, neglecting myself, my friends, and my family.
I have consoled crying parents, teachers, and colleagues who are giving 110% every day, but still feel like they’re falling short.
And yes, I’ve definintiely cried in my car on the way home from work wondering how I could stay in such a stressful job.
After becoming a parent, I realized my stress was going to be my child’s stress. I knew that I was not going to be able to be a happy, emotionally healthy parent and sustain my crazy stress-driven career as an educator.
So I dove into the research on the science of job satisfaction vs. burnout and gathered tips about streamlining workflow and coping with the demands of the being an educator.
HERE'S WHAT I'VE LEARNED IN MY RESEARCH...
- It is possible to support neurodiverse learners, even if you don’t have a special education credential
- You can support students with mental health challenges, even if you’re not a clinician
- You don’t have to bring work home, even when you think you don’t have any other choice.
- You don’t have to burn yourself to the ground and have no life to be a good educator.
- We need community for this challenging time. We need support from actual educators, not people who haven’t stepped foot in a classroom in 20 years.
That’s why we’ve partnered with our trusted Thriving Voices community to create practical content that you’ll actually want to watch.

FAQ
This is a work at your own pace PD program. You have a total of 10 months to watch the modules from when you enroll. The online modules are on-demand (not live) and you can watch at any time convenient to you. The only “live” part is the Q&A calls. But you do not have to attend them live. You can watch the recordings at another time if you wish.
You might set aside time to come to the Q&A session and then something comes up. Not to worry! You can submit a question in advance my team and I will answer it live and put it to the “mastermind” of the other educator participants for their input. Then, since the Q&A live video sessions in are recorded and stored in your online portal, your can listen to them at your convenience.
Maybe. The course can contribute to fulfilling annual PD requirements in most states, and we are working on creating educator CEU-eligible content.
The beauty of this course is that the concepts are delivered in engaging, interactive webinars, and there is access to Dr. Branstetter and a cohort of educators across the country with different viewpoints and expertise to share. All participants will have the closed Facebook group with the support of Dr. Branstetter as well as colleagues to bounce ideas off of and learn from one another.
Many districts do have funds for professional development that can be used to support school psychologists. Please have your director email sarah@thrivingstudents.com for information about using a purchase order to pay for you to take the course. Discounts are available for 5 or more educators participating in the course.
No. The Thriving Educator is a yearly membership and access is for 12 months, unless you renew your membership (which most people do!) This is to avoid procrastination so you can take control of your career satisfaction during this unique opportunity to step back and reflect on your career. I don’t want you to buy the course and let the strategies languish in your “one day when I have time” folder. This keeps all of us moving towards thriving and not just surviving!
You can purchase the course in a one-time payment at a discounted rate, or spread the payment over the course of 10 months. If you opt for the payment plan, it is NOT a “monthly subscription” model. It is a way to break up the payments if you cannot pay one lump sum. There are no refunds after 30 days from purchase. Individual modules and tools cannot be purchased or viewed separately because the course is an entire transformational experience, and each module builds on and compliments the next.
