I help set others up for success.


As a parent. . .

I know how it feels to watch your child struggle and not know how to help.

I know what it feels like to struggle with the stress and demands of being a new teacher and to wish for support and guidance.

As a teacher. . .

Whether you’re a new teacher or a parent, I’m here to help.

Hello! I’m Shannon

During my teaching career I was fortunate to have many opportunities to support teachers.

As an instructional coach, I found partnering with teachers to help grow their capacity as educators, build their confidence, and support their efficacy in the classroom extremely rewarding.

As a Learning Support Teacher for special education, my greatest joy was helping teachers understand the diverse needs of their students and working with them to implement strategies to support individual learning needs. And at the same time, educate parents.

Together—as a team— we took great pride in celebrating our students’ success.

As a union steward, and active member of my Local, I was passionate about supporting teachers in navigating the education landscape while advocating for teacher working conditions and student learning conditions.

I enjoy being a resource for both teachers and parents.

As an author. . .

I am on a mission to help empower and equip new teachers with the tools they need to be successful—both through my books and my workshops.

This book is packed full of practical, ready-to-implement strategies

What every new teacher REALLY needs to know!

Interested in a workshop for your new teachers?

I believe that every teacher deserves support and guidance during their first few years.

I’ve mentored many new teachers during my career. Now I’m hoping to help even more.
