President, Hatching Results
Danielle is passionate about supporting students’ academic success, college and career readiness, and social-emotional development while using data to show the impact of school counseling programs.
Meet Danielle Duarte, Ed.L.D.
"Much of my passion to positively impact students’ educational experiences comes from my own life story of being adopted as an infant. Had I not been adopted, I would have grown up in a low-income, single parent home not speaking English.
Data unfortunately tells us that the chances I would have earned a bachelor’s degree, much less a doctorate from Harvard, would have been extremely unlikely. I passionately work to create systems change within education so that a student’s demography does not become their destiny."
Danielle is passionate about supporting students’ academic success, college and career readiness, and social-emotional development while using data to show the impact of school counseling programs.
She received her doctorate in Education Leadership (Ed.L.D) from Harvard University and is the co-author of two books - Hatching Results for Elementary School Counseling and Hatching Results for Secondary School Counseling.
A former school counselor, Danielle has experience at all levels (K-12), and at her most recent school, the counseling program was honored as a Recognized ASCA Model Program® (RAMP).
Danielle also successfully wrote the Elementary and Secondary School Counseling Program Grant for her former district, which was awarded $1.1 million. As the grant project director, Danielle helped the district hire, train, and support the new school counselors as they developed comprehensive, data-driven school counseling programs.
In addition, Danielle served on the Board of Directors for the California Association of School Counselors for eight years, including as President. During this time, she was involved in Michelle Obama’s Reach Higher Initiative, attending all five of the national convenings and participating on California's Reach Higher Team.
Danielle has also been a school counseling adjunct faculty member, an AVID Staff Developer for the school counseling strand, and a certified Harvard Data Wise Coach. She has presented at state and national school counseling conferences and writes articles featured in school counseling publications, including ASCA’s Professional School Counseling Journal. Danielle was featured in San Diego Magazine’s 17 Big Ideas for 2017: Let’s Implement More School Counseling Programs.
