Unlocking Potential: Structures And Strategies For Optimal Learning

Every teacher can nurture thriving and collaborative learners by establishing organized classrooms and routines that maximize time.

Transforming Challenges Into Opportunities

Having worked with hundreds of teachers across the globe, I have witnessed the complexity of meeting curriculum demands, addressing diverse student needs, fostering collaboration among staff and students, and managing essential teaching tasks—all within a limited timeframe.

My approach focuses on practical, immediately implementable strategies designed to maximize time, reduce stress, and cultivate joyful and rigorous school communities.

Integrating cognitive coaching and current research in applied positive psychology, I help teachers focus on what truly matters: engaging students and fostering their independence and collaboration.

Together, we can build sustainable practices that allow teachers to accomplish more with less effort and create classrooms that inspire educators and learners.

I'm here to help you accomplish more with less effort by combining direct, explicit instruction with engaging collaborative learning experiences to maximize instructional time and create an effective classroom environment!

  • The PD with Miles was super relevant! Great energy, stealable teaching moves, actionable ideas, lots of personalization, and a willingness to say “I don’t know”. Thank you!

    — Primary Teacher, International School of Tanzania

  • I’m not exaggerating - this is the best PD of my entire 15 year career. I left our sessions feeling a buzz of excitement and inspiration. Ever since COVID, I have felt a major loss of joy and passion in teaching and this week I felt my joy coming back. Thank you for helping me see how we can be effective and efficient.
