Melissa King-Knowles
Welcome to my website! I am a dynamic educator, administrator, mentor, and presenter with over thirteen years experience in the secondary public education setting and four in higher education. Preparing learners with the complex skill set necessary to be compassionate, contributing members of our inter-connected, global society is a profound passion of mine. I take pride in being a creative and collaborative problem-solver as well as a thoughtful and reflective practitioner. It is my goal to not only embody best instructional practices, but to also model them in all that I do for all whom I serve. At the heart of powerful learning processes is the human connection. Building relationships is key in order to develop trust. That trust allows for authentic risk-taking, which is a vital component of the learning process. By building teams and cultivating leadership capacity, we empower others to continue the path of inspiration. When we develop highly effective teams who place students at the forefront of all they do, an incredible learning experience can be achieved for each and every stakeholder. The outcome of such experiences and the ripple effect that inherently follows is the most intrinsic and satisfying aspect of all that I do. I look forward to connecting with you and your organization to see what we can accomplish together!
