Research-Based Literacy Consulting
How Can Professional Development Can Enhance Your School's Reading and Writing Curriculum and Instruction?
CLARITY • COLLABORATION • COMMUNITY
I offer support that is rooted in: working together to name problems of practice, examining student work to think about solutions, and learning about current research, so that we can make the best decision for our readers and writers.

On-Site Residencies will help you learn content and practice evidence-based methods with support.

● Coach teachers as they practice;
● Debrief and articulate next steps.
-
● Support teachers in their own classrooms, with a mix of demonstration and coaching.
-
● Review resources and revise existing curriculum;
● Study student work and local standards in order to create curricular resources.
-
● Work with leadership and coaches to create topics of interest;
● Teachers sign up for a topic of their choice;
● Share research, study student work, audit existing resources, create teaching practices based on what we learn.
-
● Lead administrative walk-throughs to support teachers with the goals of professional development;
● Help create a vision statement and steps to bring it to life;
