ABOUT
April Brown

April Brown (M.Ed) is the Director of Learning and Development at Educator Forever and a curriculum coach for Educator Forever's curriculum programs. As a former teacher with a background in special education and psychology, April taught and held leadership positions in mainstream and alternative settings spanning PK-8th grade in the United States and internationally before diving head first into the world of flexible work in education.
In 2015, April took on a part-time gig designing curriculum and writing education articles for an ed-tech company while she was teaching in Belize. After her daughter was born in 2016, she wanted to spend as much time as possible with her and found the Beyond the Classroom course. Since then, April has worked as a curriculum developer, virtual instructional coach, adjunct instructor for mindfulness and trauma informed courses, education/parenting writer, and wellness circle facilitator. With everything she does, April stays committed to her advocacy for teachers and children. April's favorite part of being in the Educator Forever Network is facilitating wellness circles and network calls and supporting members as they reimagine what it means to be an educator beyond the classroom.
