\nAbout the Facilitator: \;P
eggy Hoime
With a background in Elementary and Special Educatio
n\, Peggy spent many years working with children who were labeled as havin
g an inability to learn and function in a regular classroom. \;Because
of her labels\, she was allowed to go to college on a disability grant an
d was accepted on probation. \;After graduating from college\, she has
spent over 40 years telling young people to not let anyone tell them that
they cannot learn or achieve what they desire in life. \;
Bec ause of the amazing results she had with children thought to be behind in their emotional and educational abilities\, Peggy was asked to speak at te achers' conventions and Parent &\;Teacher Associations on how to motiva te children\, not only to learn\, but to excel without being put on medica tion.
\nAfter moving East\, Peggy enrolled in Education with Insight through the Fitzgerald Institute and became a Master Trainer. \;She d oes parent coaching as well as teacher trainings. As a parenting and famil y coach\, she works with parents helping them to understand who their chil d is. \;She uses the research-based DISC Assessment. \;Once parent s understand the temperament of their child\, Peggy works with them on how to communicate\, motivate\, and discipline their child in a way that crea tes an environment where the child can flourish and become the best versio n of who he/she is.
\nAs a trainer of teachers and caregivers\, she works with professionals in helping them to understand how to meet the uni que needs of the children in their classroom by understanding different te mperaments and learning how to communicate\, teach and motivate their stud ents according to their temperament style. \;The result is that enviro nments are created where each child feels emotionally safe\, honored and s upported so he/she can thrive and grow socially\, emotionally and cognitiv ely.
