Administrative Partnerships

Partner with a fractional administrator who can devote focused attention to all aspects of the academic experience while maintaining a regular presence on campus and offering consistent support.

Coaching for administrators can develop strategies for improving administrative team dynamics, managing projects and workflow, shepherding change, establishing habits of reflection and self-examination, and navigating challenging relationships (with colleagues, students, and parents).

Mathematics

My first academic love was and still is mathematics. Partner with we so that I can help you refine and map your math curriculum, develop a plan for adoption of new textbooks, better understand a Singapore-based approach to teaching, integrate storytelling and proof-writing, implement Socratic teaching through problem-solving, and more actively engage students in the classroom.
