I partner with school districts and individual schools to strengthen Gifted & Talented programs and classroom practice. Drawing on almost three decades of experience in Colorado Springs, including launching and leading a successful middle-school gifted program, I empower educational teams to bridge the gap between vision and execution. By aligning purpose with actionable strategy, I equip educators with high-impact, student-centered tools designed to thrive in today’s most challenging learning environments.
What I do:
Gifted program coaching: vision, messaging, and alignment across schools
Teacher coaching & PLC support: differentiation, pacing, enrichment, identification, and higher-order tasks
Unit & lesson design: models, exemplars, and planning tools tailored to your context
Gifted SEL guidance: perfectionism, anxiety, underachievement, family communication
Family engagement: parent-night planning, slides/FAQs, clear pathways and placement language
Outcomes:
Clear, shared GTA vision across sites
Teacher confidence with gifted learners
Coherent units and artifacts students can show
Stronger communication with families
