Tumbleweeds

Hello there, I’m Dawn LaSalle-Knapp, your friendly neighborhood Teacher Coach with over 37 years in the world of education. Think of me as your go-to resource for practical tips and strategies that actually work—in real classrooms and real living rooms.

By day, I empower fellow educators, parents, caregivers, and childcare providers to help children thrive. By night, I’m a proud mom of five in a beautifully blended family, which means there’s never a dull moment in our household—especially with my 19-year-old son, a determined young man with special needs who consistently shatters expectations.

I’m also a devoted creator of teaching tools and caregiver resources, all while finding time to explore my love for theme parks, event planning, and accessible travel. (Yes, I can plan a fabulous trip for anyone who needs that extra bit of support!)

Here on my new blog, you’ll find a blend of practical strategies for teachers and caregivers, heartwarming family stories, and a touch of adventure. If that sounds like your cup of tea, stick around, and let’s make learning an exciting journey—together!
