Testimonials

I've had the pleasure of working with Shelley on various initiatives. She is always an unparalleled thought partner, highly effective mentor to all, and one of the hardest working people I know. She stops at nothing to ensure students are set up for success and that each and every one of her colleagues is listened to, respected and has what they need to be successful.

Without hesitation, Shelley stepped in and made sure that my family felt nurtured, reassured and taken care of when we started to navigate the neuropsych evaluation and assessment process. Her experience and expertise, having seen and supported so many children with learning differences, gave us confidence that our child would get the guidance and accommodations needed to succeed.

Shelley has been a fixture in my family’s educational life for about a decade. Her experience and knowledge about supporting children through their development in elementary and middle school is unparalleled. Our three children have had various challenges as they have navigated both the emotional and educational hurdles of their adolescence and Shelley has been a rescue for helping us find the best course of action both at home and at school - while suggesting and facilitating parity in both places. She’s intuitive and wise, and will give an honest but empathetic solution. She’s easy to work with and responsive as well. Shelley’s an incredible resource for parents and professionals that work with children because of her expansive network of contacts and the training she’s undergone as an educator and school administrator.

Shelley's special power is her unique ability to connect to and to deeply understand children. She is a brilliant educator, able to assess small tweaks and systemic change to improve learning environments. She is an equally talented coach and mentor who has grown some of the most talented educators and leaders I have known in my career.  As a professional and as a parent, Shelley is the first person I ask about my own children and also about larger educational dilemmas.
