Why this workshop?

Education assistants are uniquely positioned to make the most profound difference in students' lives — working closely with individuals and small groups where real learning breakthroughs happen.

This workshop is designed to sharpen skills and empower education assistants with the confidence to step fully into this coaching role.

When education assistants are equipped and confident, the ripple effect transforms both student outcomes and the entire school community.

What you'll walk away with

By the end of this experience, you’ll:
✔️ Learn how to reflect in a structured way and start seeing the bigger picture using systems thinking
✔️ Master a practical framework to turn your personal strengths into professional excellence
✔️ Student mentoring and coaching skills
✔️ Practical strategies for collaboratively scaffolding instruction with lead teachers to enhance student learning outcomes

Workshop Design

This workshop is intentionally designed to be immersive and practical—mirroring the complexity, pace, and strategic demands of your day-to-day role.
You’ll move fluidly between strategic reflection and practical application, combining self-awareness with systems thinking to elevate how you work—and how you lead from behind the scenes.

The learning journey will follow three key phases:

Reflect

You’ll take a step back to examine your current workflows, habits, and strengths—identifying where your time and energy are going, and where they could be better aligned.

Reframe

You’ll broaden your perspective, shifting from task execution to strategic contribution—understanding how your role supports your team, culture, and system-wide efficiency.

Redesign

You’ll apply proven frameworks and tools to build a personalized system that enhances clarity, reduces friction, and amplifies your impact—without adding to your workload.

My background in counseling psychology and reflection coaching, coupled with hands-on experience as a school counselor, learning coach, and institute leader, has given me a deep understanding of what unlocks student potential.

Education assistants are crucial members of the educational team, and I believe in equipping them with the tools they need to thrive both professionally and personally.

In this workshop, I'll share practical strategies I've developed across these diverse roles to help educators, particularly those working alongside students, unlock student success and achieve professional excellence.
