ABOUT
Susan MacDonald
The importance of a high-quality early education has never been clearer. In laying the groundwork for children’s future we need to be intentional, we need to act purposefully, and we need to have a vision and goals.
As educators and those who support them, we owe it to ourselves to create a growth culture that acknowledges and nurtures the possibilities that lie within each teacher, child, and parent. It all starts with progressive change, and Susan—Keynote Speaker, Author & Coach—has the blueprint to get you there.
A leading voice in Early Childhood Education, Susan leverages her unique educational and professional background to shape transformative change in early childhood education. Susan sows the seeds of professional growth in ways that inspire individuals to create new visions for their work and achieve their goals with a positive, strengths-based mindset.
Susan’s keynotes meld an engaging style with the credibility of current research and a storyteller’s gift to offer personable insight to guide her audiences on a realistic path to reenergize the quality of their early childhood programs. Her books, filled with accessible tools and practical strategies, provide a framework for positive and sustainable professional growth.
