What partners say
Words from colleagues and supervisors who have watched Danielle train, consult, and lead alongside their teams.
“Danielle is a skilled trainer and facilitator, and has offered in-depth content to the field of early learning coaches and child care providers. She is a deep thinker, bright, capable, motivated and always brings an authentic and committed lens of racial equity and social justice to her work.”
“Her deep capacity to critically reflect allows her to notice and acknowledge her internal responses, facilitating respectful and compassionate interactions with clients and colleagues. Dr. Gettings contributes knowledge and wisdom from her academic studies and lived experiences to the learning community.”
“Dr. Gettings actively engages in systems analyses to interrogate contextual factors such as systems and organizational climate and culture — enriching understanding of her clients' and colleagues' experiences, relational interactions, and perspectives.”
“Whether leading professional development workshops, community dialogues, or team-building sessions, she consistently creates inclusive, engaging spaces where all participants — children and parents — feel heard, respected, and empowered to contribute. She is among the most effective and impactful trainers and facilitators I've encountered.”
“As a specialist in trauma informed practices and the epigenetics of brain development, I have seen first hand Danielle's focus on developing rapport and establishing trust. She has a keen eye for noticing others in times of need and is able to calm others in times of conflict or problem-solving.”
“Danielle has demonstrated a great skill for teaching adult learners and is adept at collaborating with teachers on improving instruction and building rapport with students. She took the lead on bringing the social/emotional learning movement to our district, developing Care Teams in each building and Teen Support Groups in our high school and alternative program.”
“Danielle is gifted at building relationships and creating a positive culture. That talent allowed her to connect with the teachers she supervised and help them achieve that same level of success in their own classrooms. She is an outstanding person, a successful teacher, and a talented instructional coach. I recommend her unconditionally.”
