leadership focuses on the growth
and well-being of those with whom
she is leading. Rather than simply
managing others, Yvette fosters a

coaching. I would not be in a district
leadership role without her!

Ms. Blue supported instructional
leadership, implemented job-embedded
professional learning, and coached and
mentored the school leaders and
teachers. This consultation role led to
progress in both academics

and the school’s climate and culture. It
also helped to build capacity in the
school administrative team.

to me, providing encouragement and
guidance as a leader. She has

helped me establish lasting systems

and support. Her program is tailored
and aligned with my needs for
success. -Middle School Principal
