Welcome!

Hi, I'm Dr. Sharon Spencer—though depending on how you know me, you probably call me Doc Spencer or Shazza.

For more than two decades, I've served as a teacher, principal, director of school operations, district leader, professor, and lifelong learner. But beyond the titles, I'm also a mom, mentor, traveler, entrepreneur, coffee lover, and proud cat mom to Jaxon Pawl, Miss Pebbles, and Miss Jessie.

Two Sides of Spencer was created because I believe the most meaningful conversations happen when research meets real life. Here you'll find practical strategies grounded in evidence, personal stories that remind us we're all still learning, and honest conversations about education, leadership, family, and personal growth.

Whether you're leading a school, raising a family, navigating a career change, or simply looking for inspiration, I'm glad you're here.
