We serve K-12 and University educators and students, and the learning systems meant to support them. Experienced with district/school improvement planning and implementation internationally, our approaches to consulting and coaching is building trust and relationships to inform results.
We believe in building internal capacity so that you become self-sustaining as a key outcome. Support is customized via collaborative planning and implementation. We help you to remove barriers that block what your learners (adults and children) need.
I founded Opening Paths to help educators realize their vision for students to become our future leaders in their communities, industries, and the world.
I am passionate about advocating for students’ voice and agency about their learning. Education done well is a powerful vehicle to develop and empower learners to become the next generation of global citizens. Through my work across the United States and countries across six continents supporting staffs and students, I take away valuable expieriences that benefit the next school or district I work with. I enjoy helping schools design and implement instructional systems that support positive changes that benefit their staff and students.
