1:1 Coaching for Educators
What I do:
Through individualized coaching, I help educators prioritize their own well being AND grow their skills as they work towards more equitable outcomes for students.
Why it’s important:
Educators work incredibly hard, in systems that are not always set up to support them or our students, and deserve better. In order to continue the work of closing opportunity and achievement gaps, providing joyful and safe spaces for teachers and students, and supporting families and the larger community, leaders need to prioritize their own development and wellness. It’s possible to do this alone, of course, but doing this with the love and support of someone else is infinitely better.
How it works:
Throughout personalized coaching cycles, we co-create sustainable, every day practices and supports related to strategic leadership, instructional growth and wellness.
How We Can Work Together: 1:1 Coaching Cycles
In these partnerships, we have the time and space to surface the current realities, recognize the impact of our current realities, explore emotions and create new practices.
In our time together, we’ll design or revise a vision rooted in your values and a shared mission around equity, create inquiry questions to explore ways of being, beliefs, mindsets and behaviors that can bring your vision to life and work together to navigate, celebrate and articulate growth.
In all areas, we explore emotions that are present for ourselves and others. We will also prioritize your wellness, because we need to take care of ourselves if we are going to continue to show up and serve our communities, and because we deserve to be our most joyful and authentic selves in our work.
Leadership Coaching Cycles
How it works: Throughout personalized coaching cycles (4-5 months each), we co-create sustainable, every day practices and supports related to strategic leadership, instructional vision & growth and wellness.
What we can focus on:
Leadership Practices: coaching others, developing coaching relationships and cycles, how to coach ways of being, beliefs and behaviors as we coach for equity, prioritization, adaptive leadership, change management, building a love of learning, coaching teams, building community and relationships with adults and students, organizational skills
"As a result of this coaching cycle with Jess, I feel more competent as a coach. Like I have a clearer vision of what I've been wanting to accomplish and I am more helpful to my school community."
~G.L. Instructional Coach
Teaching Coaching Cycles

Culture Practices: building community and relationships with students, restorative practices, logical consequences, restoring relationships, intrinsic motivation, building a love of learning
