A Personal Message
In my many years’ experience as an educator, I have learned that collaboration is the key to learning – learning by students, teachers, or others in the school. When everyone’s voice matters, when agency is honored, and when we listen and learn with one another, success is increased. I also know that collaboration is challenging and requires specific skills.
I am delighted to help educators enhance their collaboration. We do this by understanding models of professional learning, growing communication skills, developing productive and sustainable practices, and using tools to make everything go smoothly. And I would be delighted to work with your school, school district, or professional organization to do the same. Please stay in touch!
