Lakeshore Learning
For over 14 years, I have passionately advocated for the expansion and enhanced quality of early learning. Having worked in just about every facet of this field, starting as a preschool teacher, I have gained a comprehensive perspective about the challenges that exist. I have dedicated my career to being part of the solution so that children and families can flourish.
My experience has given me opportunities to lead teams as they navigate the complexities of this work. I’ve helped child care providers navigate systems and networks to build their business. Some of my favorite work has been providing professional development for teachers to strengthen their skills in the classroom. All of these efforts in hopes of creating a high quality and fully inclusive early learning system that is accessible to all families.

Tim Andrews, M.S.
Trainer, Consultant
I earned my M.S. in Early Childhood Special Education from Portland State University in 2000. Fresh out of graduate school, I took a position in a ‘behavior’ or therapeutic classroom – my brother was the speech and language pathologist – I thought he would help me with paperwork! I didn’t have any idea what I signed up for. For seven years I taught in this classroom; my first three years were very challenging. I was putting out fires, feeling badly about my teaching skills, and not sure where to go for support. It was then that I found Early Childhood Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports…and my world changed. My classroom became a peaceful place, children were learning, and families were empowered and supported. I finally knew what to do to help these children and families.
Now, I’m out of the classroom, and since 2007 I’ve spent my time consulting, training, and working with families in their homes. I’m passionate about this work and believe that with the principles of Early Childhood Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports we can help to transform people’s lives for the better.
I’ve provided numerous trainings to various agencies over the years including Head Starts, Community Preschools, and Early Childhood Special Education Programs. I’ve coached classroom teachers on PBIS implementation and serve as an external coach to other agencies.
