For Homeschool Families
Support for flexible, joyful, and sustainable homeschooling
Homeschooling gives you incredible freedom, but it can also feel like a lot to carry on your own. You want your child to be challenged, supported, and understood, and you want a plan that fits your real life, not someone else’s ideal schedule. Along with coaching and curriculum planning, I also offer small group classes and workshops to support homeschool families throughout the year.
I partner with homeschool families offer workshops and classes, create flexible learning plans, enrichment opportunities, and social emotional support for advanced, curious, and out of the box learners.

Curriculum Planning and Enrichment
You do not need a boxed curriculum to have a rich and meaningful homeschool year, but it also should not feel like you are reinventing the wheel every week.
I work with families to design learning plans that fit your child’s strengths, interests, and readiness level, while still aligning to core academic expectations. Together we can map out your year, your term, or even just your next month so you feel clear and confident about where you are headed.
What this can look like:
Yearly or semester planning sessions to map out big picture goals
Weekly or monthly check ins to adjust pacing or add enrichment
Support choosing curriculum and resources that match your child
Ideas for projects, choice boards, and independent work
Extensions and challenges for gifted and advanced learners
Help weaving in reading, writing, math, science, and the arts in a flexible way
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
Who I Work With
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.
Classroom teachers who want to differentiate without creating five separate lesson plans
Gifted coordinators or advanced learning leads who feel like a department of one
Instructional coaches and specialists looking for support with flexible learning
Teams that serve advanced, creative, and twice exceptional learners
Interventionists and specialists supporting unique learning needs in inclusive settings
Homeschool and virtual program leaders designing pathways for advanced learners
Administrators who want sustainable systems that support both teachers and students
Anyone who simply wants a thought partner while making meaningful instructional changes
“Every educator deserves a partner in their corner, and every student deserves a classroom where their strengths are noticed.”
