School LeadershipxCoaching

Coaching with Alyson allowed me to work strategically and responsively throughout the school year — on issues I anticipated as well as challenges that came up organically.

When I was promoted, I asked my supervisor, “What book should I read?” I'm so glad she suggested coaching instead. Thanks to Alyson's expertise, positive and affirming framing, and systems lens, my first year as a school leader was more manageable and I feel more prepared than I ever have for the year to come. Do not hesitate to work with Alyson. Her mentorship is more valuable than any management book or summer course.

Alyson is an experienced, thoughtful leader who partners with teachers, students and administrators in establishing clear and consistent school practices. Her expertise in supporting students with learning challenges exceeds expectations. She always leads with her good-natured sense of humor and deep listening. Any school would be lucky to have Alyson as a consultant or diversity practitioner.

Systems expertise

I was impressed to learn how she developed systems to support all students according to their needs, while using data to make sound decisions. Dr. Kaneshiro is personable, intelligent, thoughtful, and insightful. I highly recommend working with her.

Practitioner consultation

Her consultation shed light on how to ensure learning strategies and accommodations are applicable in the real world. She provided practical suggestions rooted in best practices and a solid knowledge base. I now feel more self-assured in my capacity to propose accommodations that can genuinely impact students' lives for the better.
