Professional Learning Facilitator
Maureen (Mo) Zavadel has spent the past 20 years in public education empowering teachers and students to reach their highest individual potential. Maureen began her career as a special education teacher. After 14 years in the classroom, Maureen was selected to fill a newly established assistant principal role in the Upper Perkiomen School District. Two years later, Maureen earned the title of building principal and remained in that role for four years.
Throughout her tenure in public education, Maureen has led and facilitated professional development for various school and district-level change initiatives, such as early literacy programming, data-informed, standards-aligned instruction, and multi-tiered systems of support (M.T.S.S.) In her role as building principal, Maureen’s school achieved state-wide recognition for its successful implementation of a Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework.
Maureen understands that both teachers and students thrive when they feel “Safe, Seen, and Stretched” in their classroom and school communities. Her fundamental belief is that significant learning requires meaningful and authentic relationships. Her goal is to help students and educators connect on a deeper level to develop personalized learning experiences that accelerate growth.
