"I have known Dr. Shea for many years. She was a friend to me in the elementary Deaf/Hard of Hearing program where we both worked. From personal experience, I know Dr. Shea would do her best to help a teacher in need. She truly cares about teachers and students, and building trusting relationships. I'm excited to see her transfer those leadership skills to this teaching community."

"As a Special Education teacher, I had the opportunity to work collaboratively in the high school setting with Dr. Shea. Every interaction between us was handled in a timely manner. Educational interventions for our shared students were mutually beneficial, and I felt I grew in knowledge and confidence each opportunity we were given to brainstorm together. I utilized her vast array of experience and expertise on multiple occasions, and I was never disappointed in the outcome."

"I taught across the hall from Dr. Shea in the high school English department. We attended meetings together and often conversed about student needs and best practices. I found Dr. Shea to be consistently thorough, thoughtful, and caring in her interactions with colleagues and kids. She brought new ideas to the table and always encouraged our department to make decisions that would best serve students. Her ideas were insightful. Dr. Shea is the kind of teacher who goes out of her way to help others, especially teachers. She works at her craft and likes to share. She even volunteered to chair the School Safety Committee one year when no one else wanted to do it, and she made sure our department celebrated holidays together. Her interest in improving schools shows in her work on and off the clock."

"Dr. Shea is eminently qualified to be of service to any teacher.  She has over 28 years of experience actively teaching students in the classroom and online. She understands how the various building blocks of teaching fit together and how to motivate students, parents, and colleagues to achieve their desired goals.

Dr. Shea has an ability to isolate issues that teachers encounter in their everyday life. Her wealth of experience can help any teacher get clarity on what matters most and what to focus on in any given situation. Dr. Shea is a compassionate, intelligent, and supportive advisor who can give a calm and reassuring appraisal of what can be done to help teachers fulfill their dreams.

I personally can attest to her integrity and trustworthiness. I give her my highest recommendation as a person who will encourage and comfort anyone who needs an extra set of eyes to guide them along their journey."
