Overview of Services

  • New and struggling teachers often face classroom challenges that go far beyond content delivery. I provide coaching that centers on classroom management, culture-building, and instructional clarity—equipping early-career educators with the mindset and skillset to thrive. Each coaching session is practical, supportive, and tailored to the educator’s unique needs and context.

  • I collaborate with school and district leaders to co-design strategic plans that focus on improving teacher retention, instructional quality, and school culture. Whether you’re launching a new teacher induction program, aligning your PD model with classroom outcomes, or revamping your observation systems—my goal is to help you create lasting structures that serve your staff and students.

  • I partner with universities and teacher preparation programs to offer field-based support, including mentoring, evaluation of teacher residents, and guest sessions on classroom culture and instructional planning. With firsthand experience as a teacher resident and mentor, I bring a perspective that aligns academic preparation with real classroom expectations.

  • I design and facilitate PD workshops that are reflective, interactive, and built around your school’s most urgent needs. Topics include building inclusive school culture, trauma-informed instruction, and practical strategies for instructional leadership. I aim to shift practice—not just theory—so your teams leave with tools they can apply immediately.

  • Not sure what you need yet? I also offer tailored consulting for school leaders, teacher teams, or university departments. We can co-develop coaching models, improve program structures, or build alignment between vision and practice.
