What Our Students Say
"Getting the opportunity to step into a coaching role for the first time was a life-changing experience. Designing my own observation form and then applying it to a classroom setting followed up with a debriefing conversation provided me with a relevant glimpse into the role of an Instructional Math Coach."
~ Victoria Johansen
"I want to thank Michelle for always writing such thoughtful feedback on assignments. Good grades are nice, but what I really look forward to is reading the feedback."
~ Rebecca Capizzi
