About Hein Educational Consulting & Coaching

At Hein Educational Consulting & Coaching, I work with educators and school leaders who care deeply about instructional quality — and who want that excellence to be sustainable.

After more than 20 years in education, I’ve seen firsthand that meaningful improvement doesn’t come from isolated workshops or quick fixes. It comes from clarity of purpose, thoughtful design, and systems that respect teachers’ time, expertise, and well-being.

I bring experience as a Spanish teacher, instructional coach, program coordinator, and district-level leader. Across these roles, I’ve supported schools and educators in building programs that are coherent, aligned, and built to last.

My work has included:

  • Leading district-wide curriculum adoptions and pacing design to strengthen alignment and student outcomes

  • Designing and facilitating professional learning focused on academic discourse, proficiency-based instruction, and culturally responsive practice

  • Coaching and mentoring educators to translate instructional goals into consistent, effective classroom routines

  • Conducting program reviews and audits that connect curriculum, assessment, and instruction to a shared vision for success

How I Work

My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in real classroom experience. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, I focus on helping educators and teams identify what matters most — and build systems that support long-term growth.

I typically work by:

  • Listening first to understand context, strengths, and priorities

  • Identifying root causes that impact instruction, workload, or coherence

  • Designing targeted support through coaching, consulting, or professional learning

  • Supporting implementation so ideas translate into daily practice

  • Building sustainability so growth continues beyond our work together

Whether supporting an individual educator or partnering with a school or district, my goal is the same: to help educators do excellent work in ways that are clear, sustainable, and professionally fulfilling.
