People always say there's a special place in heaven for middle school teachers, and I happen to believe they're right. Well, almost right. Teaching middle schoolers IS heaven for some of us, and when I think about my experience as an educator, I am proud (and some would say crazy) to say middle school is still my favorite place to be.
I love teachers. It's as simple as that. I believe that teachers are hard-working, passionate, creative people--and our world is a better place because of them. Teachers have shaped every aspect of my life, and I believe it's my purpose in life to help create the supportive, nurturing, dignified learning environments for both them and their students.
In my educational leadership roles, I have personally witnessed the impact empowered teachers have on classrooms and learning, and it's my passion to help coach and shape school leaders to continually grow their teachers--love them through the process. I started my educational leadership journey as the Secondary English Administrator for the Brownsburg Community School Corporation in Brownsburg, Indiana. From there, I served as a Learning Specialist for the Central Indiana Educational Services Center, and I have also taught as an adjunct professor for Butler University's Experiential Program for Preparing School Principals (or EPPSP). I am the co-author of the school leadership book, Arrows: A Systems-Based Approach to School Leadership, and I am the founder of Rosebrock Consulting.
I'm also a mama of two and a wife to my husband, Brad, who is a high school special education teacher himself, as well as a high school track coach. We have two kiddos, Grace and Will, and I believe that educators and leaders need time and space to be more than who they are inside the school walls; we need permission to be vulnerable, loving, connected human beings.
