Bio

As a highly experienced literacy curriculum professional, I have a proven track record of designing and implementing effective literacy programs that promote student engagement and achievement and are tailored to the unique needs of diverse student populations, including students with learning differences, English language learners, and students from low-income backgrounds.

I have a strong understanding of current research in literacy instruction and a commitment to integrating evidence-based practices into all aspects of curriculum development and instructional coaching.

In addition, I value the ability to successfully collaborate with teachers, administrators, and other stakeholders to ensure that literacy programs are aligned with broader academic goals and support the overall mission of the school or district.

Finally, I have an excellent reputation for developing and delivering professional development sessions that empower teachers to effectively implement curriculum, targeted instructional routines and Common Core Standards to further support student learning.

Curriculum Design and Refinement

Is your literacy instruction directly tied to the Common Core State Standards and the Science of Reading? Do teachers have curriculum maps that are easy to follow? Are you using IABs to guide instruction? Do parents and other stakeholders know what is going on in your building and know how to support students outside of school? If you answered no to any of these, I can help!

Instructional Coaching

An effective teacher is critical.

I work with teachers directly, building relationships and establishing trust, in order to help them to further perfect their craft. Using walkthroughs, informal observations, and modeling, we collaborate to identify strengths and weaknesses and create a plan to improve student learning outcomes.
