I learned so much from Amy’s presentation. I love how you break down concepts that people might have a buzzword-level of familiarity with and make them tangible and real again. You have a way of cutting through the jargon to help people make connections at an authentic level and I can’t get enough of that

Protective Factors and SEL Workshop

We have loved working with Aspen Florence for the past couple of years.  She has been instrumental in helping to move our school forward in many areas.  She has coached several of our first-year teachers to implement excellent classroom management.  She has helped us develop a good process around identifying and implementing tier two and three student behavior plans. 

In addition to classroom coaching, Aspen has coached our Administrative team to develop and implement our 180-school plan and a multi-year strategic plan.

Aspen’s wealth of knowledge is extensive and she would be an asset to any school.

Strategic Plan and Coaching support

I would highly recommend working with Aspen Florence at any capacity. Her dedication to ensuring your self-care and skill building has made a huge impact in my life. Thanks to her direction and leadership I have been able to successfully work as a district specialist in behavior, counseling and college readiness systems. Through Aspens mentorship I am prepared to lead stakeholders from a district level by using research and data to inform systematic decisions. One example of this is by learning how to analyze patterns and identify trends that can have great impacts on educators and students. Being able to analyze in this way I have been able to help inform best practices for educators and students and work on systems that are preventative in nature. In addition to that I have always felt valued and listened to when working with Aspen Florence. She ensured I take the time to build in self-care practices for myself and our team so that we can be sustainable in our work. Inclusion and evidenced based practices are a priority with Aspen. I am grateful to have her as a mentor and I have grown in my professional career thanks to her leadership, dedication and mentorship.
