Having earned a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction and National Board Certification as an Early Childhood Generalist, she currently works as an instructional coach and educational consultant based in Brooklyn, New York.
Angela has 8 years experience as a K-12 instructional coach and 11 years experience in the PreK-3 classroom. As founder of Due Season Press and Educational Services, she has created printable curriculum resourcesonline courses4 books, the Truth for Teachers podcast, and the 40 Hour Teacher Workweek Club.
Quotables

  • What teaching looks like now is completely different from what it looked like 5 years ago
  • Envision a better way
  • Does the amount of hours worked equate with effectiveness?
  • It’s not about how long you are working or how hard you are working, but are you working on the right things?
  • As teachers we are waiting for permission
  • Mind shifts happen over time
  • I am not satisfied with the status quo
