Educator's Coach: April Graham

April D. Graham worked over twenty-two years with the Miami-Dade County Public Schools. She started in the position of Teacher Assistant and worked her way to Assistant Principal and then resigned to open up her own preschool.

Mrs. Graham has had her share of obstacles and has persevered through many hardships. In fact, those who know her inquire about the possibility of her success when considering the odds that were stacked against her. Mrs. Graham didn’t have parents who were college educated; causing her to become a first-generation college student. She struggled financially her entire childhood and early adulthood. She had no support and even less resources to prepare her for success. Which is why she made it a mission to coach ladies to lead and soar through adversity!

Mrs. Graham established the America’s Leading Ladies Academy, a nonprofit with the 501(c3) designation and then launched the Levolution Coaching program. In her coaching program, she has proven success strategies and resources that will transform the lives of the ladies who are ready to reach their fullest potential in the field of education and leadership. Her no nonsense, no excuses, won’t take no for an answer approach to helping you “break free” has empowered so many ladies to get unstuck. She has earned four college degrees, owns and operates a successful childcare business, is a John Maxwell Coach, best-selling author, and has earned a host of recognitions and distinctions in the field of education.

Mrs. Graham is also dubbed The Educator’s Coach because of her passion to coach teachers, and school leaders how to “leveloutionize” their school’s environment  using her signature 3M Model to increase student success, gain higher test scores, reduce teacher turnover, and  experience fewer challenges in overall school operations.

April D. Graham is married with 2 daughters and a step-daughter raised by her.  Her mantra is Leveling Up gets you there, but Leveling Up and Evolving keeps you there!
