Lindsey believes in cultivating strong relationships by taking an asset-based approach and centering curiosity in order to develop educators.  In order to create relationships Lindsey practices authentic listening, acknowledging and identifying strengths, and asking questions.  This coaching approach allows her to honor and value each person’s talents and push thinking in service of student learning.  Lindsey believes it is through these relationships that educators become more efficacious, leading to transformational change. 

Lindsey specializes in coaching educators to develop highly effective instructional practices that promote access and agency for each student. These include evidence-based methodologies such as phonics, fluency, vocabulary development, and comprehension strategies.  She brings extensive expertise in early childhood learning, including the what, the why and the how of effective and developmentally appropriate instructional strategies and techniques.  This deep knowledge, combined with strong relationships,  produces powerful partnerships and coaching resulting in transformational learning.  

After several years in the classroom, Lindsey transitioned to Instructional Coaching where she was able to take her knowledge and skills of literacy, MLLs, math instruction and systems to support adult learning.  Lindsey understands the need for adults to be in a learning community and developed a residency program at her building engaging staff with learning relevant to digital literacy and best practice using technology with students to support critical thinking and active literacy in the classroom.
