“Having Marine as a coach during my first year as a principal was very helpful both in framing my purpose, but also in developing strategies to “get ahead” of anticipated challenges that never fail to come along. In addition, the way she helped me to consider what next steps I should take in my career to make sure that my work is in alignment with my core values, beliefs, and strengths.”

“Dr. Avagyan coached me to become a stronger leader and helped me grow in confidence to better serve our community. As a new coordinator, she took the time to teach me all the processes that were required of my position, and she always shared her knowledge both skillfully and humbly. She welcomed questions from each person in the department and always empowered us to seek out answers and improve our skillset. She created a positive and nurturing culture where we all felt valued and respected as part of the team.”

“Dr. Mariné Avagyan led a series of workshops that brought critical thinking to the forefront in our classrooms. Over the course of several weeks, Dr. Avagyan led whole-group professional development sessions, facilitated lesson-planning workshops, conducted in-class observations, and met for feedback and consultation with our individual Junior High departments and Elementary grade-level faculty teams, as well as administration. Her approach is direct and personable and our teachers and staff gained much insight and will practice the strategies that they acquired through this multi-faceted and well organized consultation process!”

“With a new District Office staff coupled with returning to in person learning after the Covid-19 Pandemic, the thought of tackling Federal Program Monitoring (FPM) was daunting. Even though intense training is offered, the firsthand knowledge of working through the FPM process in our district was lacking. Reaching out to Avagyan Consulting helped reduce the initial feeling of anxiety that FPM will bring to any district. Dr. Avagyan brought years of experience and expertise to the process. She walked my team through the data gathered, requested, and evaluated our submitted documents. Her guidance and progress review allowed us to view our documents through an FPM compliance lens that ultimately broke down each area of review into manageable parts. I would highly recommend Avagyan Consulting to any District that is going through FPM review.”
