Services
I offer a variety of services to support dedicated educators across all levels of schools and districts in building their skills and knowledge grounded in the Science of Reading and to develop professional learning tools and resources that will work most effectively within each school's unique context.
Our work together starts with collaboration to build a shared understanding of the strengths and opportunities within the district, school, or classroom and supports the development of a culture of learning and curiosity as we design and iterate on experiences that will help all of our learners grow and thrive.
Guiding Principals

Learning is a lifelong process and learning and growing are deeply human needs
-
Teacher professional learning only makes a difference if it is translated into practice in support of students
-
All children have the right to experience the power and joy of literacy

When we learn together in community it makes all of us stronger

learning
Collaborative Professional Learning is a unique, educative approach to PL that builds the skills and knowledge of coaches, leaders, and facilitators as they learn alongside teachers and practitioners. Custom Professional Learning cycles are designed in alignment with district goals and curriculum and include slide decks, agendas, aligned reading and research, and detailed "Lead Learner" guides to support facilitation.
The resources are developed over a series of collaboration meetings to ensure alignment with the school or district vision, systems, values, and instructional programs.
The learning cycles create alignment across schools and organizations, ensure PL is high quality and research-aligned, build internal capacity of leaders and teachers, and provide sessions that can be facilitated by trusted educators who understand the school's context best.
