Educator On A Mission To Positively Impact A Million Kids!

Veteran educator and leader, Dr. Bryan Pearlman, decided to turn down his administrator contract and instead dedicate himself to traveling the country to positively impact students by educating and training teachers, principals, counselors, social workers, parents, and families. The focus of Dr. Pearlman’s efforts is on supporting students that have been traumatized, working with students that have explosive behaviors, and differentiating instruction to ensure that all students succeed.

Dr. Pearlman shares his reasons for embarking on this mission, “35 million children have experienced at least one traumatic event in their life and one in five students has or will have a serious mental illness. It is so important to get out in the community to help educators and families to be better equipped at helping children to be successful in school and life. We can positively impact an entire generation.”

The decision to travel and help educators has the support of his wife, Dr. Lena Pearlman (STLmentalhealth.com), “My wife Lena is a mental health therapist. She has seen the needs of children and teens grow exponentially in the past few years in her practice. We have had so many late night conversations about how to best help improve this situation. This idea was definitely a team decision and one that we are both excited about.”

The most rewarding part for Dr. Pearlman is, "During the trainings, the educators cry, they laugh, they hug each other, and at the end they share what they are going to do when they get back to their classrooms. The most rewarding part of each training is knowing that the educators are going to implement what they have learned and that this will directly impact so many children in a positive way!"

Dr. Pearlman has presented to over 12,000 educators at 75 schools, districts, state conferences, and universities. He describes his goal for the next year, “It is my plan to be in all 50 US states and to directly impact over 100,000 educators which in turn will impact over a million students.”
