From Mary Piper-Retired Superintendent and National Consultant

Carrie Launius is an expert with the knowledge and skills in science that is so needed today. Carrie’s talents in coaching, professional development and curriculum development services as they shape science instruction at the school, district, state, and/or national level. In addition, Carrie’s knowledge of the Next Generation Science Standards allows her to assist educators as they implement those standards through science teaching and learning. Carrie worked with me in two school districts; science student achievement in those districts improved significantly due to Carrie’s leadership. I am confident in endorsing Carrie to meet your specific science needs.

I strongly recommend Ty McNichols for consultation surrounding school improvement and any change effort. Ty’s depth of knowledge and skills in the areas of increasing teacher effectiveness with improved student achievement can change a school or district. Ty led or supervised schools when we worked together; many of those schools showed significant improvement due to his leadership. I would recommend Ty to anyone seeking support with the development of systematic processes for successful teaching and learning.

From Dr. Sara Martens

Dr. Nicole Williams is an extraordinary educational leader who centers students in every decision she makes. She leads with both brilliance and heart, ensuring that every choice is rooted in compassion and a deep commitment to humanizing education. Her leadership is not only inspiring but also deeply impactful—she creates spaces where collaboration flourishes, where voices are valued, and where literacy remains at the forefront of educational equity. I have learned so much from her, not only about leadership but also about what it means to truly champion literacy for all students. Dr. Williams is a rare leader—one who is fun, supportive, and unwavering in her dedication to transforming education for the better.
