Dr. Shaun Woodly is a nationally recognized educator, speaker, and creator of Influence by Design—a science-based behavior management and student engagement framework that blends principles of behavior science with practical strategies to transform behavior and boost student success.

A former Teacher of the Year and 15-year veteran educator, Dr. Woodly has dedicated his career to helping schools transform the way they approach classroom management and student engagement. He’s trained thousands of teachers across the country to understand the science of behavior and use it to design learning environments where students naturally thrive. By embracing this shift from management to design, he helps educators create classrooms where disruption isn’t just managed—it’s prevented, and where engagement isn’t just hoped for—it’s engineered.
