Amy Kranz, CPC

Certified Professional Coach
E.L.I. Master Practitioner

With 16 years of full-time professional teaching, I’ve seen it all. Wild students? Over-demanding leadership? Lack of support? Easy-peasy. Lack of resources? Endless unkept promises? Of course. A disintegrating department? Competitive rather than cooperative colleagues? Par for the course! 

And then, just for fun, I taught in another country…and another…and another… 

But I’ve also been fortunate to experience: a unified staff team, supportive leadership, true mentors, dedicated students, and, once, even a fully resourced classroom! 

So…

I’ve been where you are. I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, overburdened, over it. And I know how to get out from under the endless barrage of work that somehow gets in the way of what you thought you were there to do: teach. 

Hi. I’m Amy, The Educators’ Coach. That’s right, I used an apostrophe. Because hey, teachers deserve coaches too, and friends, I’m yours. Let’s work together to help you (or your school) find your way forward, in the classroom or beyond it.
