The approach
In a word, pragmatic.
We assess student life programming at a systems level and help schools reimagine what is possible in the realm of social emotional learning.
We also believe that the wellness of students is inexorably linked to the wellness of educators. We partner with educators to provide allyship, training, and professional guidance.
Reimagine & Redesign.
Dream it. Build it.
Need a new advisory program? Is it time to rethink your wellness curriculum or parent education program? Decades of research prove the benefits of social emotional learning, but designing offerings that are relevant and culturally responsive isn’t always easy. We can help you rethink the possibilities of student life programming at your school. Our content is customized to your school’s mission and values but will always be oriented to helping young people build confidence, character, and cultural humility.
Be Strategic. Be Authentic.
Educators lead phenomenally busy lives. And let’s face it, there’s often not time in your day-to-day to zoom out and think strategically, whether about a project or your own career trajectory. In other instances, you have the goal in mind, but just need some help mapping out the steps. Supporting educators in a 1-1 or small team setting is our passion. Our purpose is to help lighten the load, and most importantly, to uplift and empower educators.
What People Are Saying
“I hired Meredith to work with our Human Development team. What occurred over that 3 days of workshopping was way more than I could have expected. Our team felt connected, joyful, and committed to the final suggestions made when our time was over. Though Meredith has too many strengths to list, one of the things that stood out to our team was how she was able to balance being direct and forward-thinking with being compassionate, curious, and playful. She left our team feeling inspired and with strong direction and I cannot wait to work with her again!”
— Alexandra, Dean of Students, University High School
“Meredith was an enormous help to our team! She created a very well thought out day that was engaging, productive, results oriented and fun! Her workshop could not have come at a better time as we were losing steam and really benefited from her energy and expertise. I look forward to working with Herrera Educational Consulting again in the future.”
— Wendi, School Counselor, Mid-Peninsula High School
Meredith’s professional guidance keeps me balanced and rooted throughout my evolution, especially during days of deep anxiety and stress. The many errors I’m making turn into growth points through Meredith’s practice of redirecting me towards reflection rather than judgment. When I’m overwhelmed by the sheer number of tasks required to change, Meredith keeps me organized and focused around concrete goals. Because we meet regularly, we can track my progress, celebrate growth, and adapt to evolving objectives easily. When new opportunities arrive, she consistently asks me to reflect on whether or not they align with my core values so that I’m progressing towards what I truly want rather than seizing on just anything.
