About me

My Story
_LI_edited.jpg)
I was an elementary teacher for 10 years, where, as all teachers do, I taught, learned, stressed, cared, celebrated, cried, got excited, got frustrated, and hopefully, made a difference in the lives of my students.
The one most influential period in my career was when I was lucky enough to work with an instructional coach. My coach supported me, validated me, pushed me to reflect and learn, and cheered for me!
Now, as I have been fortunate enough to turn my passion for literacy, strong instruction and caring for others into a new career, I hope to be that same influence for fellow educators.

My core values of care and faith, lead me in my work with administrators and teachers. I believe that building strong relationships is paramount in teaching, as well as in coaching. I want my colleagues to know that I truly care about them, and hope they can trust that I see them as an equal partner in our work, as we learn together.

"Melissa has helped me grow as a writing teacher. Before her coaching, I had never been taught explicitly in writing instruction. Melissa showed me how to help improve instruction through mini-lessons and conferencing. She provided strategies for conferencing that were targeted and focused on specific writing skills. With Melissa's help, I am confident that my writing instruction will achieve the desired results I am looking for. She has provided a toolbox I can review throughout the year." Sean M. 3rd and 4th ELA
