Lisa has experience working with elementary and secondary teachers, support staff, principals and curriculum directors. Lisa facilitates professional development onsite and also provides follow up implementation visits in various areas such as Using Data to Drive Instruction, Curriculum, Standards and Assessments, Literacy and Common Core.
