After working with Isabel, our teachers were better able to grow from challenging classroom situations and to see the next day of teaching as an opportunity to improve.”
Liz Bahe,
Former Executive Director (2019-2022)
“Moment of Time was a wonderful resource and support for our teachers this school year. Isabel provided the positive space for teachers to reflect on their values and purpose as educators. ”

What Teachers Say
"The one thing I got in trouble for or was seen as being weak was the fact that I would ask for help from my instructional coach and that was seen as if I didn't know science or how to teach. It felt awful. I am super glad that Moment of Time LLC is being supportive to teachers and giving them a safe space to think about their teaching practice.”
- Secondary Teacher, Denver Public Schools
"Teachers need a place to say 'I'm really struggling with this' or 'I know that I am not talking to kids in the way that I really want to' and to be able to say that to someone that is directly with the district does not feel like a safe place."
- Primary Teacher, Rural Colorado
"Working with Moment of Time LLC, creates a different sense of vulnerability. The core of any sort of coaching is that vulnerability, because if you really want to grow you have to be authentic and you have to be vulnerable. Even if Moment of Time LLC were contracted through a district, Isabel would still have those core values. As a separately contracted entity, that vulnerability can still be there, because it isn't evaluative."
- Upper Elementary Teacher, Colorado
"Happy teachers make happy students. Teachers are burnt out. They are not appreciated. Moment of Time LLC is teacher oriented and treats teachers how they would like to be treated." - Lower Elementary Teacher
"Because coaching conversations with Moment of Time LLC are not content specific, it has allowed me to think deeper about my practice overall." - 1st Grade Teacher, Colorado
"Before working with Moment of Time LLC, I felt like there was always a direction, a vision from my district coach. I feel like that creates a barrier, because of the authenticity that you need, the trust that you need, in order to truly learn. I always felt like previous coaching experiences were evaluative. There were just so many different pieces, and I felt like it just had created so many different barriers that I wasn't really getting enough out of it. I felt like I was feeling more frustrated than it being helpful."
- Elementary educator, Colorado
“"I feel like in general every time we meet it just helps me feel really rejuvenated about everything and more hopeful. Sometimes when I meet with other coaches it's like, 'Oh yeah I could have done that better, but I didn't, so now I just feel bad about not doing it better!' "
-Teacher Leader, Colorado
"Everyone at my school is overworked and, while I have a good relationship with my evaluator, she is just that--my evaluator. I had reached out to district coaches before and found it to be unhelpful. So I reached out to Isabel, knowing that she and I had had a great coaching relationship in the past and that she had no agenda, other than the fact that she is passionate about education and wants to keep good teachers in the profession."
- Secondary Teacher, Aurora Public Schools
"I am a verbal processor; for me, the ticket to success in the classroom has been to have a thinking partner on the front end of my plans. With a coach, I have been able to narrow down my broad ideas; I have been able to name what I actually want students to know and be able to do (and how), but most importantly, working with Isabel has allowed me to feel confident in my own thinking."
- 4th grade teacher, Rural
"We, teachers, have the passion, the ideas, the resources, the data, the latest and greatest programs or training ...but sometimes, it is most helpful to have somebody there to help you sort it all out. Supportive teams are wonderful, but utilizing coaching with Moment of Time LLC allowed me to actually make progress in my own intentional planning for meaningful and rigorous units." - 3rd grade, Durango 9R
