Dear Yi-Fen,

Thank you for the warmth, kindness, and thoughtfulness you brought to the Instructional Coach Program. You led with heart and humility, and it made such a difference.

Your willingness to share your culture so openly and authentically created space for deeper connection and understanding within the group. I can’t wait to see the impact you’ll continue to make.

Hugs,

Dana

Yi-Fen-

Working with you has been such a joy. You bring a true inner-light and calm with you and to our team.

You created the most thoughtful, educational, and fun activities and I always loved learning from you.

I know that wherever your journey takes you these next few years, those that get the opportunity to work alongside you are incredibly lucky.

Yi-Fen --

You bring a calm and quiet presence to any room you are in. There’s a sense of calm strength in the way you carry yourself, and it’s a gift to those lucky enough to work with you. You create a sense of peace and balance in every space you enter, and it has a regulating effect on everyone around you. Your thoughtful questions consistently inspire deeper reflection and help others think critically in ways that truly matter. It’s clear that you always have others’ best interests in mind, and your willingness to be available to help, no matter the circumstance, means so much.

Thank you for being a steady, thoughtful presence and for making such a positive impact on those around you.

I've always felt a connection with you in the sense that we both came by this position as a consequence of losing our classroom positions, but both of us have made the best of it. You have contributed to our group in thoughtful and meaningful ways -- you bring beauty, patience, and thoughtfulness into the activities you have led in our group -- and I have always left those times feeling inspired to try those activities on our own. Best of luck next year, and thanks for being part of our team!

Yi-Fen,

Although we didn’t work closely together, I appreciate your presence and the positive impact you’ve had on our team. You brought so much value not only through your professional expertise but also by broadening our perspectives and deepening our understanding of different cultures. That’s something truly special and not easily replaced.

Your willingness to share your experiences and insights helped create a more inclusive, thoughtful environment, and I know many of us—myself included—have learned and grown because of it. It’s clear you care deeply about people and about building bridges, and that’s left a meaningful mark on our team. I have no doubt you’ll continue to make a difference wherever you go. Thank you again for everything you’ve shared with us.

As you get ready to move on, I just wanted to say thanks! You’ve made a real impact, and I’ve learned a lot from you. I really appreciated the lessons you taught as you made me think about things from a different perspective. You’ve been thoughtful, kind, and inspiring, and you’ll definitely be missed. Wishing you all the best in whatever comes next!

We have been classroom teacher colleagues, I have been your Instructional Coach, then we were fellow coaches, and now I will again have the opportunity to be your coach next year. Whew! I have always appreciated your candor and your perspective, Yi-Fen. As an ERHS teacher, you feel like family. I am so looking forward to continuing our work together in the years to come.

Yi-Fen,

I truly love the skill and pride you’ve shared with us by teaching pieces of your culture. One of the best things about our system, especially our IC Department, is the opportunity to learn directly from each other in person, rather than just reading, listening to podcasts, or watching something on TV.

Having the chance to learn from you personally has made a huge impact on me. It’s been so meaningful that I’ve even been able to share and teach what I’ve learned to my own children after our IC meetings.

You have a special gift that deserves to be shared widely. I wish you the very best in all your future endeavors. Thank you for everything!

You have the kindest heart, and it shines through in everything you do. You’re such an amazing listener, and your calm, thoughtful presence made such a difference in our group. I loved watching you light up when you shared your culture with us, it was always such a gift.

You are so supportive, so sweet, and such a joy to be around. I’m so grateful I got to learn with you!

It’s been such a to walk alongside you as you learned and grew in your coaching role—your quiet strength, deep commitment, and calm presence always grounded our work. I’m so glad we’ll still get to collaborate next year (and hopefully enjoy more of that amazing apple cider too!). Looking forward to what’s ahead
