Reviews From The Field
Lindsay and Angela are rockstars. They lift instructional coaches, celebrate our successes, and remind us to imbibe ourself grace so that we can grow in our goals as professionals.
Elementary Instructional Coach
This was one of the most energizing professional learning experiences of my career. The organization of our time together was well planned and responsive to our needs. Our group was encouraged to share their thinking and probe ideas as well. Being with them helped me think more critically and strategically about this work.
District-Based Coach
They were so knowledgeable personable, and warm. They spoke beautifully from the heart and I know all educators will find comfort in their words and suggestions. Thank you for being such a powerful force in instructional coaching, as well as teaching and beyond!
