Educational Thinking Partner

Reflective pedagogical guidance that fosters deep thinking, collaboration and shared vision among your community.

Hi! I’m Maaian Zelman

As a pedagogical coach and mom of three with over 15 years in education, I’m driven by the belief that both children and educators deserve to be fully engaged in their work—intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually.

I partner with leaders and teachers to create child-centered, inspiring environments rooted in curiosity, connection, and reflection. At the heart of this work is a thinking partner approach: grounded, collaborative, and values-driven.
