Pamela Ivezic, PhD, has more than 35 years of teaching experience across elementary, secondary, and higher education. For the past 18 years, she has served as the K–12 Instructional Services Music Coach for Seattle Public Schools, supporting music educators districtwide in developing inclusive, culturally responsive curricula and student-centered instructional practices.

A dedicated advocate for equitable access to the arts, Pamela collaborates with state, district, and school leaders to strengthen music programs and expand high-quality music opportunities for all K–12 students. Through her work with The Creative Advantage, Seattle’s city–district collective impact initiative for arts education, she provides classroom coaching, curriculum development support, and professional development designed to elevate music instruction across all grade levels.

Pamela has written for NAfME’s Teaching with Primary Sources Curriculum Units, and for the Washington State Arts Learning Standards in Music.  She also facilitates the monthly Washington State District Arts Administrators meeting bringing together colleagues from across the state to examine and address key issues in music/arts education. Her leadership and advocacy have been recognized by state and regional organizations and throughout the greater Seattle community. When she is not working directly with schools or educators, Pamela is an active performer in the Seattle choral community and an avid Kettlebell fan.
