I am the proud Academic Coach at Downtown Elementary Magnet Academy. My goal as an Academic Coach is to create a cultivating learning community that is inclusive of all faculty and staff’s individual needs while encouraging teachers to reach their full potential. I am passionate about mentoring and supporting teachers with strategies to enhance their unique learning characteristics, interests, and capabilities through rigor, collaboration, and gradual release. As an Academic Coach, I have the opportunity to help our teachers develop a deeper appreciation of the learning content while encouraging our teachers to utilize best practices, implement personalized learning for students, and incorporate district programs to increase student achievement. In addition, I support our teachers as they use data to develop strategies to enhance their instruction through collaboration and coaching conversations.
