Service and Coaching Experiences

---

 “My experience with Monica as my coach has been the best! Every conversation with Monica was an opportunity of growth for me. Monica made me feel safe every time we met and discussed my goals and next steps. She provided me with the strong strategies and ideas that helped me reach my goals for my students.” 

 “The experience with Monica has been nothing short of transformative! It was such a blessing to receive a coach that was knowledgeable, experienced and innovative. Monica has supported me through this entire year and has been instrumental in both my professional and personal growth. 

 “Monica always brought a realistic but positive approach to any of the work we were doing. She was aware of the strengths and challenges of the team and tailored her support based on those unique factors of our school team. Monica also provided our team with resources and wasn't afraid to start from scratch based on the teacher's need. To me, that is what personalized learning is and she was able to demonstrate that with each of our team members. In turn, impacted the experiences of our students greatly during this tumultuous year! Thank You. Lyndsay (Diego team lead)” 

 “Monica truly was an inspiration and motivator. She helped me throughout the process and truly connected with me. She was the bright spot of the weeks where I met with her. She always got me to refocus on the goal of creating learners who could become independent and choose their path with guidance. She was very instrumental in my connection on mindset with my students. I used her words that we were all learners and took time to focus on changing a mindset so that I could teach effectively. Her advice was always point on and she gave some incredible resources to use. It was an amazing experience.” 

 “Monica was amazing and a very helpful coach. She always had great ideas and was always hyping us up!”

“Very rewarding and beneficial as she helped me to improve my lessons for student learning and engagement.” 

 ”I love her style of coaching. She plays on my strengths to conquer the challenges. She always looked at the bright side of every situation. Not to mention the abundant resources she always provided. That were always useful!” 

 ”Monica was an amazing coach who help me to plan throughout the year. She acknowledged all my strengths and reminded me to use it in my teaching, she provided me multiple resources, and she was always just someone I could vent to and share my woes with.!” 

 “Because of Monica's work, I’ve seen a huge increase in discussion techniques in the classroom, and they are being explicitly planned—teachers are selecting these strategies ahead of time and planning for student discussions in the classroom.” -Alahrie Aziz-Sims, Bogan Principal!” 

 ”Monica has had great growth. She adapted and used a co-teaching strategy, modeling lessons with her team, which was more effective than trying to get this information through meetings.  She’s been able to keep them running even after being out for a bit–everything kept going because she set a great foundation.l!”
