Dr. Erica stands as an eminent change maker and global advocate for the education sector, with a dedicated focus on enhancing teachers’ well-being, fostering their professionaldevelopment, and promoting financial prosperity. Having successfully trained over 1000 teachers and spearheaded numerous district school consultation projects, Dr. Erica has architectured an ecosystem poised to revolutionize the future of education, prioritizing equity, efficiency, and effectiveness.
Drawing from her extensive experience as a K12 teacher and professor spanning nearly three decades, Dr. Erica embarked on a transformative journey post-retirement, investing over three years in rigorous research aimed at reshaping the educational landscape.
Her research underscored the pivotal role of empowering teachers through comprehensive skill development and holistic well-being initiatives as the cornerstone for delivering quality education. This approach, endorsed by her RESPECT framework, has garnered widespread adoption by leading district schools nationwide and internationally in the Middle East region. Moreover, Dr. Erica’s innovative vision extends to empowering teachers as education consultants to implement the framework nationwide, fostering positive change in both public and private schools

Today, we have served a multitude of schools in the state of Alabama and continue to grow across the United States where efficient solutions are implemented in the school system.

A sought-after speaker, coach, author, and thought leader, Dr. Erica’s influence transcends boundaries as she inspires resilience and purpose across diverse audiences.

My journey continues until it becomes a shared legacy of like minded administrators and teachers across the United States of America.

Education is beyond imparting syllabi, examinations and a structured day role. It is a responsibility where exchange of knowledge, ethics, values and character defines the future of a nation. Innovation and technology has been brought forward as a parallel education system but the majority of our students have to go through regular school system which requires change through empowering and respecting teachers.

Post retirement as a college professor, I continued to feel that my job was not complete. There is more I could do for teachers and administrators to full the gaps which can drastically improve the culture for teachers to impart education professionally to a diverse student population. After interviewing hundreds of teachers across the United States, I founded Anchored 2 Teach LLC in the state of Alabama, my home town.

My mission was clear, to create an eco-system wherein my firm brings a sustainable change in the school system where teachers are respected, motivated and professionally empowered which is then followed by training the teachers to become consultants and carry the mission forward to other schools as consultants wherein they can earn an additional income with a purpose to bring a national change in the United States. It’s a movement which brings efficiency in the school systems through cultural and structural change where teachers take pride in both teaching and consulting.

Today, we have served a multitude of schools in the state of Alabama and continue to grow across the United States where efficient solutions are implemented in the school system. Furthermore, the attrition rate of teachers has reduced significantly through professional development of teachers, cultural change, dynamic organizational development, teachers training and implementing a support system for teachers to foster and take pride in their profession.
