Dr. Rachel can customize the presentation for your classroom and relate to the topics and concepts your students are currently learning.

Would you like Dr. Rachel to visit your classroom? Please review the following and fill out the form below. She'll take a look at her schedule and be in touch with you via email shortly!

Please note:

Presentations are intended for individual classes, not assemblies. This allows for more engagement and more fun!
Dr. Rachel loves to present to multiple classes on the same day (saves time and gas!). Please ask other teachers if they are interested in a presentation on the same day. Scheduling back to back presentations works well, and Dr. Rachel can work around snack/recess/lunch times to find times that work for you.
Preschool/TK/K/1 presentations are 20-30 minutes. If scheduling multiple presentations, please schedule every half hour if possible.
2/3/4/5 presentations are 1 hour. If scheduling multiple presentations, please schedule every hour if possible.
Middle and high school presentations are custom times - please include details about preferred topics and length of class period.
