After teaching English as a Second Language in a variety of settings and schools throughout the Bloomington Public Schools in Bloomington, MN, Melissa was selected to be a full-time-release Peer Coach where she provided mentoring, coaching and support to hundreds of her colleagues throughout the district. Five years of teacher observations and reflective conversations provided a lot of context to the needs of our students, our educators and our public schools, motivating her to join the staff at Education Minnesota where she currently instructs, manages and facilitates several programs that support the whole-person-needs of our educators throughout Minnesota.
