MEET THE FOUNDER
Dr. Sheila Thomas
A mother of three men, an author, and a lifelong educator, Dr. Sheila has spent her career on both sides of the learning equation, raising children at home and teaching them in the classroom. That duel view revealed a simple truth: children do their best growing when the grown-ups in their lives are partners, not strangers.
So she founded TECT Community, Thomas Educational Consulting and Training, to bridge the gap and give every family and educator the tools to raise joyful, lifelong learners together.
"Children thrive when the adults in their lives work together. My life's work is closing the gap between home and school."
