One-to-One Education Coaching for Parents
With over three decades of education experience as a teacher, trainer of teachers, consultant to schools, author, curriculum developer, homeschool parent and consultant to many individual families, I am ready to listen and put my experience to work for you as you navigate education solutions for your children.
Innovative education solutions for a new millennia tailored to your family and executive functioning children is my specialty!
As your personal coach, I will…
- Help you assess school, home-based and/or the integrated/hybrid options you are considering for your children’s education.
- Focus on your specific questions to prevent you from wasting time and address your concerns so that you can choose a clear course of action with resolve,
- Assist as you customize an education strategy that fits your family’s unique dynamics,
- Provide a private, safe space for discussing the challenges and concerns you have with regard to your children’s academic situation,
- Guide you as you explore the wide range of academic services, curriculum and programs toward choices that best meet each of your children’s individual ways of learning and needs,
- Offer positive reinforcement when you need it most, as you encourage your children to become “executive functioning” life-long learners.
Getting Started
We will begin where you are, and build upon an understanding of the real-life struggles and demands you are facing, to help you organize, plan, prioritize, manage time, keep your focus, and develop an education strategy for your children.
Customized Approach
I will help you plan and evaluate education tools and strategies respectful of your family’s unique dynamics and the ways your children learn best. Using a customized approach, I will help you assess how your children approach learning and guide you toward helping them become self-led learners, taking charge of their education.
All Children Have Genius
I believe that all children have genius and that they are innately capable of self-directing their own learning. Their knowledge, skills and success potential knows no bounds when provided with the freedom to explore, open communication pathways, honesty and respect from those who guide them.
Developing “Executive Functioning” Learners
“Executive function” is an overarching term used in education to describe thinking processes and skills needed to cope in our rapidly changing and complex world. Beyond academic knowledge, children of all ages also need to develop resiliency and critical thinking skills, learn how to set goals, plan, organize and follow through as well as ways to self-manage their thoughts, emotions and behaviors. In the context of your home and the plan you set in motion, I will help you direct your children’s education so that they are better equipped to navigate the challenges of “school” and become effective life-long learners.
