Welcome to Empress Rules

"As a fourth-year teacher with Portland Public Schools, I have been craving strategies to take my teaching to the next level. Kheoshi Owens, founder of Empress Rules, observed my teaching and helped me understand both my strengths and areas for improvement. Her feedback was precise, deep, and focused on how I interacted with students of color and each gender throughout the lesson. We developed a plan of action that was specific and useful. The experience was the highlight of my teaching year!"
