Coaching

Teaching can be an isolating, lonely experience. Sometimes teachers can go a whole day without meaningfully connecting with another adult, much less getting support from a colleague or feedback from an administrator. Not only does this isolation contribute to teacher turnover, but it also contributes significantly to a lack of student engagement, an increase in distractions and disruptive behavior, and plummeting test scores.

I can help! I coach K-12 educators in all disciplines to help build their personal capacity to become their best teacher selves.  Specializing in instructional practices, classroom management, innovative student-centered learning experiences, and data-driven assessments, my coaching helps developing and veteran teachers alike become reflective decision-makers who employ strategies and resources strategically to increase student engagement, elevate student motivation, and improve student academic abilities and independence. I provide constructive feedback focused on each teacher’s own growth goals to support them with targeted, research-based tools and resources that improve their educational pedagogies, resulting in greater teacher knowledge, expertise, and confidence.

I also help administrators and other school leaders seeking systemic growth, by coaching leaders on how to be effective catalysts to build capacity from within their organization. School site leaders learn how to elevate emergent teacher-leaders to develop into collaborative, reflective decision-makers focused on strategic mission- and functionality-aligned growth goals, using inclusive communication skills and data-driven accountability.
