COACH BIOS:

Peg Lucci

As a former classroom teacher and long-standing presenter, Peg understands first-hand the challenge and excitement of being a coach-like educator. Coaching and teaching skills are different in some ways and yet extremely complementary. When coaching know-how is added to teaching proficiency the results can be magical, bringing students to a whole new level of understanding and application.

Deb Chisholm

With 33 years of experience in education, Deb brings knowledge, expertise, and most of all, her passion for children and respect for teachers into her coaching relationships with educators. For many years, she has helped facilitate positive change and transformation initiatives in schools, thus she knows "up close" the empowering impact of coaching on school communities.
