Let’s Talk.

Let’s talk about your vision of the teacher you’d like to be and the difference you hope to make for your students.

Let’s talk about what matters. To them. To you. And let’s create a bit of alignment between that vision and what’s happening with your curriculum. Your assessments. Your instructional practices.

Let’s talk about the constraints you face, as well. I’ve been doing this a long, loooong time. So, I promise you: We will keep things real. Meaningful. Manageable.

We don’t need to muddy the water in order to make it seem deep. We do need to know how choppy it is, and more importantly, who is steering your ship and how their vision aligns with your own. We need to help you swim that ocean and not merely survival float or worse–drown.

So, let’s dream a bit and problem solve. Hard.

You’ve got this.

I’ll help you remember that.

How do you learn best?

I’m Angela Stockman, and I’m just a tiny bit passionate about professional learning. This has been my gig for almost fifteen years now, and I still wake up excited to go to work each day.

I love leading and attending workshops and conferences. I’m an Edcamp fan, too. And I spend nearly every week day facilitating multi-phase, sustained professional learning opportunities for different kinds of teachers in very different kinds of places.

These are all worthwhile experiences, but if you asked me which of them created the greatest amount of change, I’d tell you that it was customized coaching.

what’s customized coaching?

It’s whatever you need it to be, and in my opinion, that’s probably why it makes the greatest difference.

Some teachers need a quick consult on a lesson, unit, assessment, or instructional approach. Others invite me to audit and provide feedback on more substantial projects and plans. I design curriculum beside and with teachers. I’ve also designed curriculum for them.

We meet face to face if we’re able to.

We meet online as well.

Sometimes, it’s necessary to work 1:1, but often, teachers join small groups of others who share their interests and needs, and we learn even more….together.

So, here’s my Proposal:

Take some time to think about your interests and needs. Determine what kind of coaching support might be most worth your while, and then, peruse the service packages I offer.

Register for the one that works best, and then, look forward to hearing from me that same day. We’ll customize your plan further, to make it work for you.

here’s what you’ll get:

• Voice and choice. Your plan will be customized to fit your needs, our meetings will take place at a mutually agreed upon time that works well for you, and we will meet on the ground if possible and online as you wish. This is all up to you.
• A clear vision for the difference you hope to make for kids, and a product  (or products) that will help you achieve it, whether they are curriculum or instructional plans, assessments, theories of change, strategic plans, or other valuable resources that get you moving in the right direction. What we design will be agreed upon together and based upon your specific needs.
• An action plan that will help you manage the shift, your time, and your sanity.
• Tools that will help you assess the effectiveness of our your work, as you implement it.
• Access to my resources and complete ownership of your own, as we develop things together. Anything that we design together will remain yours, I will not share it without your permission, and if I do, you will be fully credited.
• The opportunity to receive wrap-around, daily support inside of my other networks, including Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
