Sharon spent her educational career as an instructional coach and mathematics teacher at a high school in a northern Chicago suburb. For 15 years, she worked with a team of instructional coaches and administrators to build the system for coaching across their district. In her day-to-day work with teachers, Sharon has implemented hundreds of 1-1 Impact Cycles with teachers and administrators.
She became a Certified Instructional Coach through ICG in the Fall of 2019. The coaching program has had many local, national, and international visitors to discuss the implementation and operation of their coaching program, and she is very proud of the fact that the work of their administration-coaching team is featured in the opening of Chapter 7 of The Definitive Guide to Instructional Coaching!
For several years, Sharon has been the Co-Coordinator for the Educational Coaching Network in Chicago. She has conducted numerous instructional coaching workshops with teachers and administrators and teaches a course on instructional coaching at Northwestern University. In her free time, Sharon enjoys spending time biking and hiking with her husband and traveling to spend time with her grown daughters.
