ABOUT THE MISSION

When a student shuts down, acts out, or disappears — it's not defiance. It's dysregulation.

When a teacher hits burnout, it's not a weakness. It's a nervous system that never learned to co-regulate.

Self-regulation is the skill of managing your own emotional and physiological response under stress.

It is the single most powerful predictor of student success, teacher retention, and school culture.

Michale Taylor, MBA, is a national speaker and a level II-certified trauma-informed educational service provider with 8+ years of experience transforming school culture & climate while connecting educators, students, families, communities, and policymakers to create lasting impact.

Michale Treats The Cause

Most behavioral interventions treat the symptom... the outburst, the suspension, the disengagement.

Michale treats the cause.

As a certified trauma-informed care specialist and PBIS expert, Michale has spent years studying what science already knows: dysregulated nervous systems cannot learn, connect, or thrive.

When a student is stuck in fight, flight, or freeze, NO motivational poster, NO consequence, and NO lecture is going to reach them.

What DOES reach them?

Self-regulation skills that give them agency over their own nervous system.

And for those that need a little support? Co-regulation by a trusted adult who stays grounded, attuned, and safe so the student's nervous system has something healthy to mirror.

This is what Michale brings into every school, every assembly, and every workshop.

A model. A method. A movement.

Because when students learn to regulate, they don't just behave better. They show up differently. They dream bigger.

They R.I.S.E.

The students were moved and in tears

Michale did a tremendous job not only being very open about her life but also connecting with all students. Some she connected so well with that they were moved to tears. The students were motivated and engaged the whole time. Thank you Michale
