Designing work to meet the specific needs of clients to instill the greatest impact on students, staff and outcomes. Providing high quality, professional development that is engaging, forward thinking and relatable to the present needs of 21st century learners and educators. I am a life-long educator and learner who is deeply passionate about literacy and best educational practice in the classroom. I am a natural connector, relator and developer. I bring my energy, personality and strong communication skills into the heart of all my training and coaching sessions. My goal is to provide high quality, professional development that is engaging, forward thinking and relatable to the present needs of 21st century learners and educators. My work is based upon current pedagogy and the implementation of best practice. My focus is to have immediate and direct impact on the teachers I train, the classrooms I work inside and the students I touch. It is this impact that transfers into sustained growth, achievement and life-long love of learning! "I've been paying attention and listening to educators for many years... they are overwhelmed. I take a hands on role with my clients to curate manageable systems of best practice based upon the needs of their students in their classrooms and the needs of their teachers. When this falls into place we we alleviate the stress and allow the love of literacy to set the tone. The outcome is a sustainable, cohesive tapestry of growth in both our readers and our teachers... and that's a win/win!" Jean Ducey
