What People Are Saying
I am thankful and satisfied for the partnership and leadership Dawn provided me with my newly-hired team of DCPS Becoming Managers in gaining clarity on the district’s approach to whole-child, anti-racist education grounded in the science of learning and development. She was instrumental in providing a year-long improvement network to support school-based whole-child leads with internalizing cycles of continuous improvement and putting their learning into action. We saw evidence of practice change across the district as a result of this professional learning.
Thank you, Dawn, for your support of Tulsa Public Schools through one of the most challenging times we have ever experienced as an organization. Your commitment to detail and deep knowledge of multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) and child development were essential in our re-entry plans through the pandemic.
Dawn helped our team collaborate to create systems and structures that led to our school being a safe and predictable learning environment for students. As a result, we were able to accelerate academic achievement for all!
In my school, we have several different leadership teams (academic leadership team, instructional leadership team, culture and climate team, MTSS team). I appreciated Dawn's consultation and coaching in streamlining these into one team. The staff who are members of multiple teams are ecstatic that they are getting some time freed up in their schedules by having to attend just one meeting
Thank you for helping my team to understand the importance of trusting relationships and also how the presence of oxytocin and cortisol impacts a student's limbic system, the learning part of their brain.
Thank you for sharing the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) study with me. I knew students who face childhood trauma were more likely to have issues in school but did not realize those who have four or more unbuffered ACEs are 32 times more likely to have learning and behavior challenges in school.
