For Schools & Districts
Partnering with schools to make learning more flexible, engaging, and equitable.
Strong schools need strong programs. I partner with schools and districts to provide instructional coaching, professional development, and gifted education consulting that improve teaching practice, strengthen services for advanced learners, and help every student grow.
Instructional Coaching & Professional Development
I support schools through coaching cycles, workshops, and ongoing professional learning that help educators build confidence, grow their practice, and keep students engaged.
My coaching blends research based strategies with practical, classroom ready ideas that teachers can start using the same day.
What this can look like:
Co-teaching and co-planning support
Instructional coaching cycles for individual teachers or teams
Reflective observations that feel safe and supportive
Customized workshops for staff meetings or full PD days
Ongoing series focused on topics like differentiation, flexible learning, or UDL
Tools and templates teachers can use immediately
Every session is designed to be:
Action oriented
Encouraging and empathetic
Grounded in student needs
Flexible and responsive
Focused on long-term growth
My Coaching Philosophy
Instructional coaching should never feel intimidating or disconnected from the realities of classroom life. Coaching works best when it feels like having a thoughtful partner who listens well, asks meaningful questions, and helps you build practices that truly support your students.
My work is grounded in four principles that guide every coaching cycle, workshop, and collaboration.
“Coaching can provide the support and guidance that educators need to bring their best selves to their work, enabling students to thrive.”
Gifted Education Consulting
Supporting advanced learners is essential. Doing it well requires intention, research, and a clear system that is practical for teachers and equitable for students.
I help districts design, strengthen, and evaluate gifted education services so that more students are identified, challenged, and supported throughout their learning journey.
Ways I can support your district:
Program reviews and evaluations of current gifted services
Improvements to identification practices
Classroom coaching focused on serving advanced learners in inclusive settings
Planning for enrichment, acceleration, and flexible pathways
Designing extension menus, choice boards, and differentiation tools
Family workshops on gifted traits, social-emotional needs, and advocacy
Support for GT coordinators who are “departments of one”
My focus is always on:
Equity in identification
Practical strategies teachers can use tomorrow
Systems that are sustainable, not overwhelming
Increasing student engagement and access
Helping districts build programs that grow with their learners
Curriculum Development & Customization
When curriculum invites students to think deeply, explore ideas, and make connections across subjects, learning becomes meaningful again. I design enrichment opportunities and differentiated resources that extend learning while staying practical for everyday classrooms.
Every resource is built with flexibility in mind so teachers can adapt it for different readiness levels, interests, and learning pathways.
What I can create for your school or district:
Differentiated units aligned to standards
Enrichment projects and choice menus
Creative writing and critical thinking activities
Interdisciplinary learning experiences
Extensions for advanced and gifted learners
Curriculum supports that help teachers personalize instruction
Custom resources connected to your existing curriculum maps
What schools appreciate most:
Clear teacher directions
Step-by-step student materials
Adaptable tasks for a range of learners
Activities that build independence and curiosity
Curriculum that actually fits real classroom time

Coaching and consulting is designed for educators and leaders who care deeply about helping students grow, especially those who need flexibility, challenge, and thoughtful support.
Whether your teachers are new, experienced, overwhelmed, or thriving, I create a space where they can grow with confidence.
