TLC for Educators is a research-based professional learning organization dedicated to transforming STEM instruction in elementary schools. Founded by Dr. Tami Lemire, a lifelong educator whose own early trauma shaped her passion for teaching, TLC for Educators supports teachers through trauma-informed, brain-based, and equity-driven practices. With a focus on boosting teacher confidence in math and science, TLC helps create STEMpossible Classrooms—where students thrive, curiosity leads, and educators feel empowered. Backed by doctoral research and decades of experience across 60+ school districts, we equip schools with the tools, training, and leadership strategies needed to close the STEM gap, improve retention, and prepare students for the rapidly evolving workforce. When teachers feel confident, students imagine what's possible—and achieve it.
A Research-Based Model for Advancing Elementary Science Instruction
Dr. Lemire's research findings have direct implications for administrators and instructional leaders designing or scaling STEM initiatives. With the right supports, teachers can transform science from a subject of uncertainty into a platform for interdisciplinary learning, student empowerment, and long-term STEM engagement.
From bus driver to executive and STEM leader, Dr. Tami Lemire’s journey is fueled by a deep belief in the transformative power of education. In this inspiring interview with Authority Magazine, she shares the leadership lessons, personal grit, and bold vision behind her work—where teachers become changemakers and students grow into problem-solvers.
