TESTIMONIALS
FROM THE SUCCESS OF STRATEGIC PLANNING AND SERVICES
It was very important for our educational leadership team to support the implementation of rigorous, standards based curriculum, secondly, to use effective teaching strategies, and thirdly, to support our beginner, middle and advanced students in reading and language arts.
Monica worked seamlessly with our team supporting us with data reviews, setting SMART goals, supporting teachers and providing effective feedback for our teachers.
As a result, not only did we see growth in our assessment scores, but in teacher efficacy. Additionally, our leadership team gained more skills and confidence. I would definitely recommend Monica to work with your team.

Monica has a lot of passion, expertise, and wide-reaching networks which makes her an impactful asset to the profession. She has a gift to know where to put the right person at the right time.
During my time with America Achieves as a National Teacher Fellow, Monica provided me with advice, support, and opportunities on how to leverage my voice at the school, district, state, and national level.
The impact she had on me continues today as I continue to use my skills, knowledge, and disposition to change the lives of students and the profession.

While pursuing my National Board Teaching Certification in Literacy, Monica Lewis served as my mentor. She helped me to align my practice with National Board Standards, which reflect what an accomplished literacy teacher should know and be able to do.
She also supported me in effectively writing about my planning, instruction, assessments, and data analysis in order to demonstrate how I impacted student learning. I earned my National Board Teaching Certification within one year and I give credit to Monica Lewis for being such a dedicated mentor.
For the last two years, I have served as a Literacy mentor for candidates seeking National Board Teaching Certification. This transition into a leadership position has been rewarding because I have the opportunity to share what I have learned.

Monica (Sims) Lewis stood alongside me as we opened a new school in 2005. Her excitement was infectious as she became a "favorite" teacher of each student who passed through her classroom. I have not witnessed another teacher with such a strong connection to her students, which led to a more significant impact on student achievement, than
Ms. Lewis.
Her commitment to support students was remarkable. There was no stone that she left unturned to ensure that students learned. Before it was popular, she was engaging students in social emotional learning. She embraced several practices to ensure that they were prepared to meet the demands of instruction each and every day.
Monica was collaborative, supportive and always seeking to improve her practice and that of her colleagues. She was a critical part of the school's success.
