Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other. – John F. KennedyPrincipal… educational leader… coach… I am dedicated to continuous learning. My leadership and learning experiences have led me to develop strong written and verbal communication skills with my school community. I use an analytical approach to solving problems, whether I am guiding students through conflict resolution or helping a teacher to develop a student learning plan. I observe, listen, and ask questions. Embracing the essence of collaborative inquiry, trust, high expectations, and risk-taking has been the hallmark of my leadership style. As public school educators, our work is as much about adult learning as it is about student learning. I support and practice the coaching model. Trained in the Data Driven Dialogue Process (DDDP), I led the effort to train the teaching staff and redesigned professional learning teams to use DDDP in analyzing student data to inform instructional practice. I also created an EdCamp format for teachers, providing them with differentiated professional development, particularly in the use of technology. I love learning! I strive to create a positive learning environment for children and adults by building positive relationships and providing authentic learning experiences. I care about people! A happy, healthy learning community is important to me, so I celebrate students’ successes, and acknowledge all the great work the staff does every day. I enjoy listening to stories, engaging in meaningful discussions, and learning something new every day!I have a Masters in Educational Leadership from the University of Southern Maine.I am exploring new opportunities and can be reached either through this profile or by phone at (207) 329-8505.
