Founder + Purpose

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 year 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 tendencies I have. 

I learned how I handle stress, success, communication, collaboration, conflicts, and structure / organization. These qualities DIRECTLY  impact the classroom

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