Dedicated to Teachers


Invite Our Virtual Consulting Authors to Your School

Heinemann PD offers a wide variety of options to meet you where you are in your professional learning journey. So what does it look like to have an expert consultant meet with an entire school or a large segment of a district to help move them past where they are? Meet Heinemann's Consulting Authors.

Throughout the year, more than 50 Heinemann authors are available to deliver short-term or long-term consulting, coaching, or online keynote presentation—virtually and in person (as soon as it is again safe to do so). Our PD Services specialists are skilled to help you efficiently identify the right author for your needs, so you can meet your PD goals on a productive and timely basis.

From time to time, we will highlight three consulting authors to introduce you to the wide range of expertise available to you. Learn more about each of these experts and visit our main page to browse all of Heinemann's current Consulting Authors. Additional internationally noted Heinemann authors will join this Consulting Author line-up throughout the year and you can see previously highlighted authors here.
