Innovative solutions to persistent school challenges

---

"Alex did an exceptional job of building strong adult and student culture. Her passion for creating an environment which is inclusive and emotionally literate always shone through. Alex is a brilliant project manager; making detailed plans, problem-solving challenges that arise and, above all else, taking personal responsibility for the project's success." 

"Alex embodied joy and positivity. [She] engage[d] both students and staff with the same high levels of respect, empathy and curiosity. [She] engage[d] with me as both a collaborator and a trainer. I felt seen, valued and validated by her work, and it filled me with the confidence to be able to better provide that for our students." 

"In my decade of experience as a teacher, I have never crossed paths with anyone quite as unique as Alex, and it is difficult to fathom working with a more beloved educator for students and teachers alike. Alex was undoubtedly a driving force behind the joy, fervor, resilience, and fortitude that was cultivated within our workplace." 

"Alex worked to cultivate, and create a curriculum specifically designed to meet the needs of our students. Morale, student engagement, and academic achievement all improved in a matter of a year. When she brought Community Circle back to HVA High School...bi-monthly, students were able to showcase their talents, partake in grade-wide competitions, learn about the various cultures within our school, and build a sense of school spirit that was missing." 

 "Alexandra Cork is an exceptional asset in transforming school culture. Her approach goes beyond the classroom, focusing on empowering both staff and students to create a positive school environment that inspires all members to do their best work. Her emphasis on open communication and professional development has empowered teachers to feel invested in the school's vision, leading to a palpable shift in the overall culture of our school."
