Bio
Michelle Myers has over 24 years of experience in public education and currently serves as a Program Specialist for San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD), specializing in Restorative Justice and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) approaches to prevent and intervene with bullying. She accomplishes this by working alongside counselors, administrators, and support staff through teaching, mentoring, and implementation within K–12 settings.
Her background includes experience as a school counselor in SBCUSD and as a teacher’s assistant at the University Center for Developmental Disabilities. She is also a member of the SBCUSD Crisis Team and maintains active memberships with the California Association of School Counselors (CASC), American Association of School Counselors (ASCA), California Teachers Association (CTA), San Bernardino Teachers Association (SBTA), and the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi.
In addition to her full time role as a program specialist, Myers works as an educational consultant, partnering with schools and districts to integrate Restorative Practices for responding to conflict and bullying. Among her friends and colleagues, she is known for her ability to balance multiple professional roles, often up to four at once, while also raising her six year old niece, an experience that provides a daily masterclass in patience, humor, and the real meaning of restorative practice.
