My experience with Alkema Lewis was beyond helpful. This has been such a valuable coaching experience. I learned so much, and Alkema was an excellent listener and thought partner.
N. Ugel, Assistant Principal - DCPS
My coaching sessions with Alkema Lewis have been by far the best professional experience I've had since becoming an assistant principal. Alkema patiently guided me through the tools I needed to ensure I was effectively impacting adults and students in my building. I am confident that the time I spent shaping and reaching my goals with Alkema will remain a part of my leadership practice for many years. Thank you, Alkema!

R. Walter, Assistant Principal - D19 BK
Alkema Lewis’ facilitation and coaching have been transformative. Her sessions were well-structured, insightful, and engaging, significantly impacting my professional growth and other aspiring school leaders in my cohort. Her emphasis on effective principalship, collaborative learning, and robust problem-solving and decision-making skills ensured I was well-equipped to lead and inspire school communities.
S. Smith, Assistant Principal - D19 BK
The Leadership Training Ms. Lewis provided gave me the confidence and knowledge to be a voice for my colleagues - sharing ideas and strategies with the administration when one was uncertain of a response. I learned to encourage a few of my colleagues to evaluate and rethink some of their long-term teaching practices to provide a more supportive outcome for student progress. I appreciate the training, scenarios, and guidance.
I look forward to learning and growing as a professional leader.
P. Smith, School Site Program Specialist - IUSD
I enjoyed this session. I have many takeaways related to shared leadership; the 1st is to promote your teams' individual and team strengths and create a safe space.
