Professional Development
Educators are life-long learners. To feed their quest for knowledge and ensure they are up-to-date on teaching best practices, educators want on-going interactive, engaging, and inspiring professional development experience.
Oftentimes, professional development sessions are provided by experts in the field who might not have a background in education, or worse, never taught in the classroom.
I am an experienced elementary educator, teacher coach, curriculum creator, presenter, keynote speaker and edupreneur. I help classroom teachers gain effectiveness through instructional best practices so that students can reach their potential in and out of the classroom.
No matter a teacher’s years of experience or varied instructional experience, we all have room to grow.
My goal is to:
Improve educator effectiveness one teacher at a time.
I believe…
- Every teacher can transform into greatness
- An open mind allows for talent to cultivate
- It is never too late to achieve your potential
- Personalized coaching is the vehicle to long lasting change
Professional Development topics include:
- 4 Keys to Greater Success in the Classroom
