She has an incredible skill set in education that will support a district moving the needle. She is an expert in instructional strategies, curriculum development, blended/personalized learning and improving student achievement. She doesn't just come to a district and do professional development. She works with teachers in the trenches supporting them on the implementation in the classroom with students. I highly recommend her to any school district as she is an incredible professional and would be an asset to staff and students. - Tony Suozzo, Superintendent South Hunterdon Regional School District Tony Suozzo South Hunterdon Regional School District, NJ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f75f9822aab647301c2a964/1607694424249-NXX32H26O1498TCCYUYT/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-09-04%2Bat%2B3.22.00%2BPM.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f75f9822aab647301c2a964/fa5f63b9-db13-4cf5-bcc1-357aa19cc3a7/Data+Analysis.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f75f9822aab647301c2a964/6719ca94-954b-4e78-a7f6-1fbbef1e2934/Facilitating.jpg Home https://www.mksedpartners.com/services daily 0.75 2025-01-27 https://www.mksedpartners.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2024-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f75f9822aab647301c2a964/5f8efad8-2ed2-4d62-89e4-8e2df0d4d9fa/Screen+Shot+2022-05-04+at+4.42.35+PM.png Testimonials - We have been working with Maureen Sigler for several years now and the benefits are innumerable. The professional development teachers receive is job embedded and immediately applicable to their instructional practices. In addition to facilitating workshops, Maureen trains our teachers to coach each other and to share best practices. As a result, teachers are learning how to truly leverage technology to assess students in real time, to differentiate instruction, and to meet the needs of our students whether they be in-person or learning virtually. We are so grateful for our partnership. Rosetta D. Treece, Ed.D. Superintendent Hopewell Valley Regional School District, NJ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f75f9822aab647301c2a964/6cb06683-2e82-4e15-9744-766b65c8467e/Screen+Shot+2022-06-09+at+12.28.52+PM.png Testimonials - As a single site charter school in the MS Delta, resources are available though limited in scope. Connecting with MKS Partners was exactly what we needed at the right time. We were able to get the support, collaboration and outcomes we needed for our strategic planning process – and in the form of something tangible and easy to implement. The professionalism, knowledge and support that came along with the project made the work even more enjoyable! Dr Tamala Boyd Shaw Executive Director Leflore Legacy Academy, Greenwood, MS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f75f9822aab647301c2a964/0c0421d5-c1bc-40d9-b37b-d1edd1f41553/Screen+Shot+2022-05-05+at+10.36.13+PM.png Testimonials - Dedicated. Trustworthy. Knowledgeable. These and so many other adjectives describe Maureen Sigler. Her energy around educational equity and her asset-based mindset is genuine and deep. Professional development isn't something done to you when MKS is in charge, her ability to co-construct learning experiences for adults is one of a kind. As a colleague, she always asked the difficult questions, pushing all parties in the room to reflect, analyze and desire to make hard but necessary change. Knowledge around standards and high quality curriculum is her superpower, along with building strong relationships with all who cross her path. With Maureen as a thought partner, I grew and developed as an educator and a human. Dawn Manchester Curriculum Technology Coordinator Warwick Public Schools, RI https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f75f9822aab647301c2a964/012634e4-faff-4111-85ce-90789a783da5/Screen+Shot+2022-05-05+at+10.34.39+PM.png Testimonials - Maureen is an amazing coach that I had the pleasure of working with for 3 years. She was adept at helping me to identify challenges and areas of need in the classroom and supported me in implementing new strategies and tools. She made me aware of the importance of reflection and how it could drastically improve my teaching and classroom environment. Even though I was already a highly effective educator, Maureen made me realize the importance and benefits of being a lifelong learner. She assisted me in finding ways to save time, as well as guided me to build deeper and stronger relationships with my students. I was in awe of her questioning techniques and learned a tremendous amount from our coaching conversations. After working with Maureen I was inspired and empowered and have now become a part-time instructional coach in my district with the hope that I can motivate and support others just as Maureen did for me. Lisa Barrentine 1st grade teacher Cranston Public Schools, RI https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f75f9822aab647301c2a964/ed780075-2a1e-4ba7-9102-23331461e77a/Screen+Shot+2022-05-05+at+10.39.24+PM.png Testimonials - We had a wonderful experience working with Maureen and her team at MKS Education Partners. They were invested in our mission and our goals and quickly internalized our films and other content to create 50 rich and complex short lessons to engage students and teachers around our work. They were then able to use their holistic approach, knowledge of pedagogy, and experience in teacher training to design and implement our first professional development opportunities around social emotional learning and culturally responsive teaching. We value our collaboration with MKS and already plan to work with them in the future.
