“There is no one I can recommend more highly than Annette Breaux. Her

delivery style invariably gets her a standing ovation.”

Annette Breaux is one of the most entertaining and informative speakers in education today on increasing student achievement. She leaves her        audience with practical, doable techniques to implement in their classrooms immediately. Administrators agree that they see results from their teachers the next day.

Annette Breaux is a firm believer in the major differences between successful and unsuccessful schools. Unsuccessful schools stress programs, spending millions of dollars in pursuit of the “quick fix” or the “fad of the year.” Successful schools stress practices. They wisely invest in training, supporting, and retaining a faculty of competent, caring teachers who are committed to the success of every child.

Annette Breaux's message is one of practicality and personality in teaching, of feeling and healing in touching students’ lives, and of common sense and creative teaching strategies. Her presentations generate instant impact on the relationships between teachers and students.

A former curriculum coordinator and classroom teacher, she now serves as the Teacher Induction Coordinator for Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, Louisiana. She is also the director of the FIRST program, an induction training process hailed as one of the best in the country. It has been so successful in training and retaining new teachers that the Louisiana Department of Education has adopted it as a statewide model.

Annette recently teamed with Dr. Harry Wong to coauthor a book on new teacher induction, titled "New Teacher Induction, How to Train, Support, and Retain New Teachers." She has given hundreds of presentations to educators across the country, providing training for induction, instructional strategies and classroom management techniques.

Her down-south warmth, infectious humor, and ability to touch the hearts of educators invariably bring audiences to their feet. Teachers agree that they walk away from her presentations with user-friendly information, heartfelt inspiration, and a much needed reminder that they have truly chosen the most noble of all professions - teaching. Quite simply, they leave Annette Breaux's presentation determined to be better teachers.
