Teaching is a craft, but many schools neglect to treat it as one. As a result, many teachers struggle in their first five years, and far too many leave the profession for lack of support. Research confirms what common sense suggests: one-on-one coaching works! External mentors make it safe for teachers to be open about their weaknesses and goals. I can assist with strategies for efficient lesson planning, for improved assessment, and for productive parent communication. I am available on a semester, yearly, or summer-only basis.
