Founder, Purpose, and Contact

Founder

My name is Morgan Lyons and I am the Founder and Creator of Growing Beyond The Books. At the start of the pandemic, I was a fourth ELA teacher who was devastated to be out of my element- the classroom.

 

While home, I became engrossed with the Enneagram. My research helped me better understand myself and the tendencies I have. This knowledge equipped me with the ability to bounce back to my normal self, become more confident, and navigate life through a different perspective.

 

I began applying my Enneagram knowledge to my classroom/school environment. I learned how I handle stress, success, communication, collaboration, conflicts, and structure / organization. Even more so that these qualities DIRECTLY impact the classroom.

 

When schools reopened, I quickly realized that people were not the same. Educators need support and NOT just with curriculum. This was when Growing Beyond The Books was born!
