Hey, Hey, Coaches, I’m Nicole!
I’m an elementary teacher turned instructional coach with a little bit of K-12 admin experience sprinkled in. It was hard making the transition from a classroom teacher to an instructional coach. I had no idea what I was doing and was left to figure it out on my own. It took years for me to create a system and gain the knowledge to be impactful. I am passionate about supporting instructional coaches on their journey. I did it on my own, but you don’t have to! I have a coaching membership hub that provides community and professional development, digital resources, and books to help you in your role. Grab your coaching mug, a pen, and a notepad, and stay a while. Get the help you need and explore the resources. I am happy you are here!
