“I found Julie to be one of the most passionate, dedicated and impactful educators that I have worked with. She continuously fine tunes her craft to ensure she is able to support teachers with the most up to date research and practices.” — Special Education Director (K-12)
“Julie’s expertise about best practices in teaching are observable beginning with the planning through the execution and measured by student engagement and achievement. Teachers trust her because she listens, models and guides them. She is a skilled communicator. She is aware of and adept at balancing cultural and developmental needs of students and has made culturally relevant teaching a top priority in coaching.”
— Principal (PreK-8 Montessori School)
“Julie coaches our team of teachers as we go through a curriculum transformation process and helps us to rewrite many of our existing units or write new units to incorporate a more culturally relevant curriculum for our students. Julie also prepares and facilitates a large amount of our professional development for our entire staff. These sessions are thoughtful, engaging, and always leave me with something I can implement in the classroom right away.” — Educator (gr. 4-5)
