As an instructional coach and educator with a passion for shaping the future of education, I bring a fresh perspective to enhancing both student academic achievement and wellbeing in international schools. And it starts with teachers.My mission is clear: Empower and innovate. I do this through a laser-like focus on instructional practice. Here's how I work with teachers:1) I listen deeply to teachers: hearing what is underneath the challenges and symptoms teachers speak about. 2) I help them uncover their hopes, wishes, amplify their own super powers and guide them to clarify, reconnect with and refine their own vision that also aligns with the school's goals. 3) Finally, I work in partnership to bring that vision into a teacher's classroom practice.This brings impactful and sustainable results in the classroom and beyond. My technical expertise lies in using design thinking and innovative pedagogical approaches to bridge the gap between traditional teaching methods and the dynamic needs of the modern international classroom. My skills in Pedtech & EdTech help me to break down barriers and open up new pathways for learning for teachers and our students.Through delivering personalized and collaborative learning experiences for individuals and groups, I help schools cultivate a culture of continuous learning, reflective practice and collegiality by embedding these skills and tools into departments and sections.With over 28 years of international school and public school experience, my roots in classroom practice run deep, reflecting a steadfast commitment to excellence in teaching and learning. I am an advocate for equitable practice and amplifier of underrepresented voices.I am eager to embrace new challenges and opportunities that align with my vision for a brighter, more hopeful world for our youth. Let's collaborate to reimagine education. Work with me here: https://www.linkedin.com/company/teachspark-instructional-coaching/?viewAsMember=true
