Hi Edufriends!

I would always navigate this space with my teacher hat on! I remain reflective and ask myself how can I support more educators? It is that reminder that we are not in this alone.

Essential Workers

Educators, this one’s for you.​
Across the country, budget cuts and funding freezes are making it harder for teachers to access meaningful professional learning. But growth can’t stop here. I am offering a redo of my most popular sessions presented at large conferences and educational organizations. This is the session you didn't know you needed!

Only two weeks away! Join me on November 6th at 10 AM EST for “Literacy Instruction and Data-Based Decision Making for ALL Students.”​
A live, 60-minute virtual workshop designed to help you use data as a tool for equity, engagement, and literacy success for every student.

Can’t attend live? You’ll still receive 7-day access to the recording and all resources.​
Registration is only $25.

Student-Centered Strategy

Strategy: Data-Informed Small Groups
​What it looks like: Use student assessment data (formal or informal) to create small, flexible groups that target specific literacy needs and strengths.
​Example: After a reading assessment, group students to…

• Practice decoding using word sorts (skill: phonics)
• Discuss text connections in a guided reading group (skill: comprehension)
• Analyze author’s craft through short mentor texts (skill: critical thinking)
