“I’ve beyond enjoyed working with you, Leah – you’ve meant so much to my year and I know firsthand that our school is in a better spot, much because of your influence! Thank you for being such a strong and impactful female role model!”

Misha Hudak School Director in Training - DSST Cole Middle School, Denver, CO

“Working with Nataki has transformed my ability to lead a team in a way I wasn't sure was possible. Through Real Time Leadership Coaching, Nataki taught me that if I don't follow-up on a plan I've set in motion and if I don't hold myself, my staff and my students accountable, then the plan carries little weight. My leadership has leveled up in the best way as a result of my coaching. I knew I was effective at noticing a gap in a classroom or a system, and now I'm also effective at giving immediate feedback and following back up to ensure that gap is closed. It's a game changer. We're in our early stages of partnership with Nataki and the CT3 team, but already I'm seeing the impact of Real Time Teacher Coaching. We've moved seamlessly from observing a teacher, giving feedback two days later and looking for implementation another three days after that to immediate feedback. I couldn't have imagined the impact - immediate change in teacher practice and documented student improvement.”

Lindsey Girard Executive Director - CICS Loomis-Longwood, Chicago, IL

"Kendra has been an absolute pleasure to work with this school year. Her guidance and support have helped our school become a more positive and welcoming environment for students and staff. She has also helped me become a better coach for our teachers. When we first started working together, I was not 100% convinced that Real Time Teacher Coaching would be effective. However, with Kendra’s help, coaching is now something I look forward to every week, and the No-Nonsense Nurturer model has become an essential part of our every day at Highland Renaissance Academy."

Molly Gilbert MTSS Coordinator - Highland Renaissance Academy, Charlotte, NC

"As an instructional coach working with Nataki and other Real Time Teacher Coaches, I have been able to share with teachers the impact that No-Nonsense Nurturer has had on their students. They have seen a change in behaviors and classwork when they positively narrate and set high expectations for their students. This has been an eye-opening experience for me. I wish I had this when I was in the classroom!"

JoeAnn Nash Instructional Coach - Empowered Community Schools, Chicago, IL

"I was apprehensive before starting Real Time Teacher Coaching as I had never coached anyone in this way before. Kendra was great at guiding us through the process. She helped us find our own comfort levels and our own voices. She pushed us when we needed to be challenged, and gave us positive encouragement when deserved. She supported our efforts to challenge our teachers, and kept our focus and goal centered on student achievement. She impacted my practice and the practice of my teachers in such a positive way!"

Erinn Hudson Instructional Mentor for Novice Teachers - Tulsa Public Schools, Tulsa, OK

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kendra’s mentoring and training support of my growth in No-Nonsense Nurturer and Real Time Teacher Coaching. I was familiar with NNN, but after working with Kendra, I was able to truly understand the model and its purpose and was able to support teachers far better than previously. I was a little scared to start Real Time Teacher Coaching, but after being with Kendra for about an hour, it was evident that she truly cares about the growth of coaches, teachers, and students. She worked endless hours with my partner and I and was patient with us as we made mistakes, asked questions, and succeeded! I have called her numerous times for additional support and she always responds within 24 hours. She always encourages me to keep learning and asking questions as they arise. I know she is on my side and that I can count on her when I need her!"

Sheila Martin Instructional Mentor - Tulsa Public Schools, Tulsa, OK

“Carrie's passion is contagious. She clearly knows and articulated the urban teaching experience with refreshing humor and strong procedural expertise. Bravo!”

Teacher Waterbury Public Schools, Waterbury, CT

"This is the type of classroom management training I have wanted for years! Thank you so much!"

Teacher from Garner, NC

"Finally! A training session where I wasn't bored out of my mind and that I didn't feel like was a complete and total waste of my time! Finally! A training where I was actually actively engaged and indeed learning! 5 STAR rating!"

Teacher from Atlanta, GA

“Joy’s coaching has changed my practice on so many levels. She made me feel so comfortable from the very beginning on how to shift the culture in my building to a No-Nonsense Nurturing culture. Every time we’ve worked together, she had a natural way of leading me to the place where I needed to be. This is just my third year, so it’s been great to have someone to bounce off ideas with who’s not in our district who challenges the status quo, which I needed. She helps leaders to truly grow and walks with you every step in that journey. I’m very grateful that we crossed paths. It could’ve gone a completely other way if I didn’t have a coach to push me in the right direction."

Danielle Wallace Principal - Winton Woods Primary South, Cincinnati, OH

“In 17 years, no individual has impacted my work as an educator and transformed my interaction with teachers, administrators and students as Coach Heidi has through the eye-opening process of Real Time Teacher Coaching. The knowledge and skills that I gained have allowed me to empower teachers as they applied the research-based strategies that are both effective and efficient to changing classroom culture and climate. I have experienced success as a coach on a deeper and transformative level as a direct result of Heidi's clear, exemplary coaching."

Joyce Jones Specialist, School Climate and Culture - Duval County Public Schools, Jacksonville, FL

"Nataki has been incredibly supportive to us at Thomasboro this year. Besides the awesome coaching, she stepped in when we suffered several losses and supported us through the loss of a student, our registrar and our office secretary. She helped cover the main office, gave great advice, and ran all over the school helping anywhere she was needed. She truly rolled up her sleeves and showed what real support looks like, and I appreciate it more than I can say. Through many other challenges we’ve faced this year, Nataki has been our solid “go-to” that we know we can count on.”

Jan McIver Principal - Thomasboro Academy, Charlotte, NC

"Heidi's training has had a transformative impact on teaching and learning across our school. She built rapport with our team instantly and brings joy while maintaining incredibly high expectations for the coaches she trains. She perfectly models what it means to be a No-Nonsense Nurturer!  I knew bringing CT3's work to our building would have a positive impact on student culture. What I didn’t anticipate was the impact of our teachers watching Heidi provide real-time feedback to our coaches during their pre- and post-conferences, which strengthened trust and mutual accountability across the board. Heidi also does an excellent job of differentiating her approach so all coaches - experienced and novice - feel challenged and grow.  Now, my coaches can shift mindsets in a way I didn’t initially realize was possible. This has fueled their confidence, their commitment to coaching, and raised their expectations for the teachers they support. Heidi has truly become a part of our school team.  I wish she could be a permanent member of our faculty!”

Rachael Neill Principal - Quail Hollow Middle School, Charlotte, NC

"I have had the opportunity to train under many coaching models. However, No-Nonsense Nurturer has had an enormous impact on my coaching career. In my opinion, it is the yellow brick road to successful teaching and coaching. Since its implementation, classroom and school transformations are taking place throughout our district. Under Dr. Frank’s expert coaching, I have become a change agent. I have observed him ignite both a novice teacher and a seasoned coach to excellence during the same coaching session with ease and grace. Both left the coaching session empowered to elevate student achievement and transform school culture. Thank you for your dedication to education and the progress of our children and schools everywhere!"

Lynn McKinney Instructional Coach - Tulsa Public Schools, Tulsa, OK

"I have grown exponentially as a coach and an educator this year with Richard's support. He has shown me how to unpack the mindsets of teachers and put them on a path to create life-altering relationships with all students. The impact in the classroom has been seen with higher engagement, student voice and opportunities for young people to connect with adults, each other, and content."

Mary Snellgrove Instructional Specialist - Butler County Educational Service Center, Hamilton, OH

"Richard and the team at CT3 have been instrumental in helping us develop and maintain a culture of high expectations for students at our three Crescent City Schools in New Orleans. Richard's work with our instructional leaders has pushed them to become stronger coaches, which has led to increased engagement of students and further academic success. Our partnership with CT3 over the last five years has been invaluable, and our implementation of No-Nonsense Nurturer has led to buildings full of joy and learning."

Kate Mehok Chief Executive Officer - Crescent City Schools, New Orleans, LA

“I want to credit the strong team you have in place at CT3. Vynesha is a rock star coach and person that I am fortunate to work with and learn from. Michael and Richard have given me great feedback and instruction to implement in my practices as well.”

Austin Fleming Fifth Grade Teacher - Tulsa Public Schools

“I was so pumped up during Carrie’s No-Nonsense Nurturer training and excited that it was so well received by our teachers. I found myself almost giddy at times. I feel very fortunate to have her support on our initiatives and look forward to a very successful year.”

Colleen Murray Superintendent of Schools – Bethany Public School District, Bethany, CT

“Coaching with Wanda has been game-changing for me as a leader. She pushes me to zoom out and reconsider the larger structures, practices and culture of my building and staff. As a result, I am able to shape and inform change urgently and strategically. She helps me understand my strengths and areas of growth at a deep level. My school is a much stronger and safer place for students and adults because of her."

Meaghan Loftus Principal, Project L.I.F.T. - Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools

“If you are serious about changing teacher practice based on pure evidence, Real Time Teacher Coaching is the way to go! It’s a win for teachers and students and you can quote me on that!"

David Carr Principal - LA's Promise Charter Middle School

“I cannot thank Jackie enough for the opportunity and responsibility to increase active engagement and develop a stronger culture at our school. Her knowledge and passion for creating a more culturally relevant learning environment exudes in the way she coaches her team. Her style of Real Time Teacher Coach mentoring has helped me tremendously while I am coaching and I now feel confident that I am delivering effective and specific feedback."

Leah Martello Dean of Scholars - Village Prep Cliffs, Breakthrough Schools

“The training that I have received through Jackie has been very purposeful. The teachers at our school in the Real Time Teacher Coaching process have improved greatly with regards to classroom management, consistency of expectations, and instructional practices. I am very pleased with the progress of this program and the coaching support I continue to receive from my mentor in coaching, Jackie!”

Lisa Quick Assistant Principal - Citizens Academy

“Video coaching support from Jackie has helped me to grow as a coach because I was able to watch my coaching sessions, review the strong moves I've made that positively impacted the outcome of the session, and focus on one to two areas that would make the session even stronger. I was able to talk through what those next moves could look like and practice with Jackie so that I would be ready to implement by the very next coaching session. Hands down, I am a strong coach now because of the reinforcement I received through Jackie’s video support.”

Samantha Reichard Multi-Classroom Leader, Project L.I.F.T. - Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools

“When I met Vynesha, I was an administrator in a school plagued by teacher turnover and dangerous student behaviors. While the intended outcome of my work with Vynesha was to learn how to use a teacher coaching model that would support my faculty in transforming classroom culture, I walked away with a deeper and life-altering understanding of myself and my purpose - both professionally and personally. If you or your organization hopes to closely examine the role that individual mindsets play in altering reality or misplacing blame, I can honestly say you’d be missing out if you didn’t ask Vynesha. Her gift is not only changing minds, but changing hearts.”  

Hal Schwartz Principal - Orchard Academy

“As my coach, Vynesha took me out of my comfort zone and pushed me to be the most reflective educator and coach that I could be. In turn, I was able to use Real Time Teacher Coaching coupled with No-Nonsense Nurturer to help my teachers achieve their highest potential. Even though much of our staff has gone our separate ways in the district, we continue to implement the management techniques that we learned from Vynesha.”

Amanda Provost Instructional Leadership Specialist - Springfield Public Schools

"As an experienced Instructional Coach, my greatest need has always been for someone to support me while I coach. With Vynesha’s support, not only am I providing teachers with the kind of coaching I wish I’d had for myself, but I get a coach as well. Working with Vynesha has helped me to reflect on my practice, refuel my passion for the work, and inspire me to keep pushing teachers and leading our building toward transformative practice."

Michelle Mone Dr. King Elementary School - Syracuse City School District

“Working with Vynesha has been a fantastic experience. She helps hone my skills around what to look for in a classroom, but also how to communicate more clearly and effectively to help my teachers improve faster. She is always positive and supportive, and my abilities as a teacher coach have improved dramatically with her excellent support.”

Jessica Deimel Assistant Principal of Instruction - Mastery Charter Schools

“Karen is an incredible resource. She is direct, helpful, and empowering, supporting me to move both teacher practice and my own. She helps me notice the positive changes and pushes me to grow every step of the way. I can honestly say that in four days, I walked out of training a stronger leader with a stronger school culture.“

Wintanna Abai Principal - Success Academy Charter Schools

“Karen is an excellent coach who helps me work on classroom management with my teachers. She is able to give me the necessary tools to help push my teachers to be effective managers. In addition, she is able to address challenging mindsets with my teachers which has changed the way they view education and the children that they teach. I enjoy working with her and I look forward to growing with her as my coach.”

Derek Harris Principal - Success Academy Charter Schools

“Karen continuously builds my skill set to help me unpack disempowering mindsets. She pushes me to hold the school community to high expectations through Real Time Teacher Coaching.

James Cryan Founder & CEO - Rocky Mountain Prep

Caitlin Vaughan Principal - Rocky Mountain Prep

“I first met Leah when she was training a staff member at my school to be a Real Time Teacher Coach. With Leah's support, my coach and I transformed my classroom into an environment where all students could be successful. As a teacher leader and Real Time Teacher Coach this year, Leah's supportive and constructive coaching practices have empowered me to help transform other classrooms through Real Time Teacher Coaching and ultimately create successful learning opportunities for all students.”

Rachel Moroney Third Grade Literacy Teacher - Denver Public Schools

“Leah’s thoroughness, thoughtfulness, and unyielding belief in pushing teachers to become No-Nonsense Nurturers has resulted in increased rigor and teachers building meaningful relationships with scholars and their families. Through Leah’s coaching, I am now able to confidently help teachers work through any disempowering mindsets that may prevent them from reaching maximum student engagement in their classes. Thank you Leah and CT3!”

Emmett Denson Assistant Principal - RePublic Schools, Reimagine Prep

“CT3 has been a transformative experience for both myself and the teachers I manage. As a new leader, Karen worked to quickly build my technical coaching skill in addition to supporting me in breaking down my own disempowering mindsets. She makes me feel strong and powerful. Her impact has extended far beyond the teachers in my caseload who have received CT3 coaching. She has made me a stronger, more confident No-Nonsense Nurturer people leader.”

Ashley Rosado Gaymon K-2 Academic Dean - Achievement First Brownsville

“Working with Karen has greatly impacted my coaching. She epitomizes No-Nonsense Nurturer in her work with me and my colleagues. Karen has extremely high standards for her coaches and has pushed me in ways that make me feel more than capable of meeting those standards. The impact my work with Karen has had on our school community is incomparable.”

Zonya Hicks Dean of School Culture - Achievement First Brownsville

“I absolutely loved this training. It helped me explore my own blind spots (i.e. unintended enabler) and ways to ensure that my classroom communicates a No-Nonsense Nurturer environment. Our presenter did an excellent job of engaging the audience and having us self-reflect in a meaningful way."

Teacher from Washington, D.C.

“The training was very effective. I feel that I received productive strategies to use in my classroom. I have taken a different view on how I will start my school year off. Thank you and please return!”

Teacher from Charlotte, N.C.

"The training was engaging because it was very hands-on, not judgmental or accusatory. I felt safe and confident that I could implement these practices into my classroom without feeling pressured or skeptical."

Teacher from Charlotte, N.C.

"The No-Nonsense Nurturer and Real Time Teacher Coaching training, provided by William Sprankles, has given me a deeper understanding of how to more effectively support all teachers to achieve high levels of student engagement and learning. The feedback provided by William has empowered me to apply new strategic tools to the coaching process so that I can become a more effective No-Nonsense Nurturer coach and subsequently, a stronger academic coach. I am grateful to have participated in this powerful professional development opportunity."

Elaine Georgostathis Intermediate Math Consultant - Hamilton County Educational Service Center

"William's feedback and prompts during coaching are specific and individualized. They are clearly connected to the coaching rubric, and really pushed me professionally to deeply examine my next steps for growth."

The transformation is incredible.”

Monique Martin Principal Patrick Henry School - Cleveland, OH

“Coaching from Wanda with CT3 transformed me as a leader. She pushed me to uncover things about myself that I wasn't even aware were hidden! She taught me how to be a better leader and how to get more from my scholars, my teachers, and myself. I am not the same leader today that I was when we started. As a result, my school became a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for everyone. Working directly with Wanda has been the very best personal and professional development that I could ever ask for!”

Jeanette Reber Principal, Project L.I.F.T. - Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools

“Wanda has partnered with me in a way that has renewed my commitment to student success and has generated an even stronger culture at our school.”

Jeffrey Keruski Principal - Cleveland Metropolitan School District

“Carrie has been able to intertwine the 'Village Prep' way with the No-Nonsense Nurturer approach. Her approach to coaching has always been collaborative, professional, and relatable.

I am continuously impressed and empowered by her ability to provide proven techniques that strengthen both classroom culture and academic delivery. She's one of our greatest resources!”

Leah Martello Dean of Scholars - Village Preparatory School, Cleveland

Scott Dieter Manager, Teacher Leadership Development - Teach for America, Northeast Ohio

“My training with Richard provided me with the most in-depth coaching and real-time feedback I have received thus far in my career, pushing me to change my practice in ways that are guaranteed to impact student achievement.

Megan Ernst Director, Teacher Leadership Development - Teach for America

“When I think about what it means for me to truly be pushed in my work, I think of Eyka’s coaching style. She has a way of building a strong relationship while holding incredibly high standards. I’ve never felt so comfortable to be vulnerable about where I needed to go as well as confident that she would help me get there. I cannot sing her praises enough!! I am a strong coach because of all of her advice!”

Stephanie Crosier Classroom Culture Coach - Teach for America

“My work with Eyka was, without a doubt, the most impactful development in which I have ever engaged. Her energy is contagious, and she pushed me to learn about myself and the way I lead. Because of our work together, I am confident and skilled in building authentic relationships, analyzing root causes, and coaching disempowering mindsets so that teachers are well-positioned to empower their students in and out of the classroom.”

Anna Savitsky Manager, Teacher Leadership Development - Teach for America

“Before our school's summer break, we received strategic No-Nonsense Nurturer training from Kara around teacher mindsets and school culture.

Deborah Chapman Coach Beecher - Community School District

“Through my training with Dr. Prada my effectiveness as a coach has tremendously increased. I feel like I have a renewed commitment to helping teachers succeed in classrooms because I never thought I would be able to improve my teachers’ classroom practice like I can do today!”

Alina Thouyaret Instructional Coach - DC Bilingual School

“When chosen to lead Project L.I.F.T. in CMS, I was charged with creating a suite of services to support our school turn-around process and oversee the investment we made in teacher coaching.

Denise Watts Fmr. Learning Community Superintendent, Project L.I.F.T. - Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools

“Real Time Teacher Coaching is among the most exciting tools our Instructional Coaches have used and has even, at times, been “revolutionary.” It has changed teachers’ classrooms from places where little learning was possible to places where learning is constant.”

Dr. Heather Kirkpatrick Chief People Officer - Aspire Public Schools

“Before working with CT3, we never actually worked with an organization who held true to the title of being 'transformational'! They must continue all the great work they do within our school, the Achievement First network, and in other schools across the country.”

Teachers feel empowered by the instantaneous change in their classrooms and they are able to maintain it.”

Tovah Koplow Fmr. Supervisor of Coaches - Washington D.C. Public Schools

“Our teachers are not big fans of online courses. The No-Nonsense Nurturer Online Course was a definite exception. Teachers raved about the course but more importantly, it quickly produced noticeable improvement in their classroom culture and management. Thanks!”

Mario Giardiello Fmr. Executive Director, School Support - Denver Public Schools

“CT3 has helped in the overall transformation of Luis Munoz Marin in Cleveland, Ohio. Over the year of working with CT3, we were able to restructure the culture in the building. I would highly recommend CT3 to a school district that is looking at attacking cultural change.”
