About Joe

I help schools and districts strengthen teaching and learning through meaningful partnerships, strategic planning, and professional learning that drives lasting change. Over the past 15 years, I’ve served as a teacher, principal, and system-level leader — experiences that shaped my belief that every educator deserves the knowledge and support to help students see themselves as capable learners.

As the founder of Lofstedt Coaching, I collaborate with schools and districts to design professional learning that builds both confidence and capacity. My work blends classroom practice, leadership development, and systems thinking — aligning what happens in classrooms with the structures that sustain it. From coaching teachers to advising district teams on large-scale curriculum rollouts, I focus on practical, research-informed strategies that translate to real results.

Whether facilitating a learning lab for district leaders or guiding teachers through a new framework, my goal is always the same: to create conditions where great teaching can thrive. When schools invest in people — not just programs — student learning follows.
