MEET OUR MEMBERS: Dr. Donna Marie Cozine Helps Schools Develop Highly Effective Leaders

The Great Resignation series continues. Our members are helping manage the tide turning and no where is that more needed than in education

“Developing ethical leaders who can lead schools so that ALL children can achieve their goals IS social justice.”

This is why it’s so important for Socially Responsible Coaching Alliance member, Donna Marie Cozine to empower and grow more leaders. “If we don't do this,” says Dr. Cozine, “then who will STEP IN when we STEP OUT?”

Dr. Donna Marie Cozine is a leader, author, speaker and executive coach. She is the founder of Renaissance Academy Charter School of the Arts in Rochester, NY. She grew the school from 194 students and 32 staff members to 506 students and 93 staff members in 7 years. She is passionate about growing leaders and leadership pipelines in schools and districts.

She published 2 books with help from The Author Incubator. Her first, Amazon Best Selling Book, So, You Want to Be a Superintendent? Become the Leader You Were Meant to Be! outlined her approach to leadership development. Her second, Amazon Best Selling Book, Happy Teachers, Joyful Students, Engaged Parents: A Guide for Building a School Community that Works outlines her framework for a joyful school. She is the founder and CEO of DMC Consulting, a company dedicated to serving educators who want to level up their leadership to enrich the lives of thousands of children and their families.

I am the daughter of a profoundly deaf father who lost his hearing when he was 11. Having a deaf father was a gift in that it shaped the caring, empathic person who isn't afraid to demand what is right for ALL. ALL means ALL.

Donna Marie says by being a member of this community she has learned how to work within her zone of genius. “Iron sharpens iron,” she says and she is excited to be surrounded by like-minded coaches.

Donna’s goal this year is to support at least 100 education leaders in their quest to grow their leadership efficacy. Do you know an educator or school that could benefit from her expertise?
