Training Associates

Since 2015 and until this July 2025, Doreen served as one of the Co-Directors for Thinking Collaborative, LLC. It was an incredible honor to do so. She is also a private consultant with M2 Coaching & Consulting, LLC and is a Training Associate for Adaptive Schools and Cognitive Coaching, formerly for Habits of Mind. She is an international consultant with extensive experience teaching on six continents and across the United States of America. As a result, she has exponentially increased her appreciation and admiration for the dedication, passion, intellectual curiosity, and resilience of teachers everywhere!

She has a B.S. from State University of New York at Oswego in English/Secondary Education, did graduate work in diagnostic and prescriptive teaching of reading, and received an M.S. in English Education Advanced Study from Syracuse University.
