About Your Trainer
I'm Ron Shuali, M.Ed., and I'm on a mission to make professional development fun, effective, and accessible for early childhood educators. My 20 years of classroom experience fueled my passion for finding fresh, engaging approaches that leave early childhood professionals inspired and equipped with real-world strategies.
Traditional professional development often falls short. It can feel dry, impersonal, and disconnected from real-world experience. That's why I created UNprofessional Development - a fresh, engaging approach that gets results!
