Collaborative Planning, Instructional Coaching & Student Support

Neurodivergent-affirming collaborative planning, instructional coaching, and student support provide the opportunity to co-create classroom communities where all students feel seen and can engage deeply in their learning.

I work from a lens of deep compassion for the weight that teachers are being asked to carry. I also work from the lens of being a former classroom teacher, school administrator, and a parent of a neurodivergent student.

All of these perspectives, along with my extensive training, often provide me with unique insights that can be more effective than traditional professional development. Any type of professional development has its limitations if it stays in the intellectual realm and never gets applied to make a real difference for students and teachers. Beyond providing insights, I can also support with implementation and material development side by side with educators.

My work centers on Universal Design for Learning, equity, understanding diverse neurotypes, fostering supportive communication with families, and navigating challenging student behaviors with empathy and clarity.

I also offer guidance in executive function support, reading and writing development, and classroom design.

All collaborative planning, instructional coaching, and student support are intentionally designed to connect directly to the goals and mission of your learning community. I intentionally work with only one school at a time. This means I often have a waitlist, but it also provides the opportunity to focus all of my energy on the well-being of that individual learning community.
