Meet Erin Shook

 Erin Shook is an educator, Social Emotional Learning (SEL) coach, and speaker with 17 years of classroom experience teaching Psychology and Sociology. She now works with schools and educators to strengthen student well-being, engagement, and social-emotional learning.

Erin believes that student engagement, mental health, and real-life challenges are deeply connected. Her work brings together SEL, positive psychology, and practical strategies that help students thrive while supporting the educators who serve them.

Erin holds a bachelor's degree in Secondary Education–History and master's degrees in Curriculum and Instruction and Reading.

Erin is also a mom of four active and energetic boys, so she understands just how full life can feel both inside and outside the classroom.

Balancing teaching and motherhood isn’t something she’s figured out perfectly and that’s exactly the point. Over time, she’s learned that the demands in both roles don’t slow down, which makes it even more important to take care of yourself along the way.

That belief is at the core of her work with educator moms. Erin is passionate about helping women find a more sustainable way to navigate school and home and prioritizing one that includes space for themselves, too.

Erin Shook is a speaker who challenges the way we think about teaching, motherhood, and what it really means to support others well.

She empowers educator moms to prioritize themselves, not as an extra, but as a necessity so they can show up stronger in their classrooms and at home. Drawing from her experience as both a teacher and a mom of four, Erin speaks honestly about burnout, balance, and the pressure to do it all.

She also brings a powerful perspective on student engagement and mental health, focusing on how we can support and raise a more resilient, capable generation of students.
