supporting teachers and students in literacy.
In School Settings: We develop and deepen teacher practice through instructional coaching and professional learning. Our work is driven by literacy research and responsive to the needs of your school community. Work focus may include: read aloud, shared reading, small group instruction (conferring, guided reading, and/or strategy groups), phonics and word study, novel study, book clubs, reading interventions, reading workshop, writing workshop, and writing about reading. We are a woman-owned business!
Professional Learning
Professional learning gathers groups of teachers together to learn new or deepen existing knowledge around literacy practices. Professional learning prioritizes teachers as instructional change agents and allows time for learning and reflection.
INSTRUCTIONAL COACHING
Instructional coaching supports teachers in their own classrooms while they execute new instructional practices. Coaching takes many forms such as a coach modeling an instructional practice, teaching side by side with the classroom teacher, or observing the teacher teaching and dialoguing afterwards with non-evaluative feedback. Classroom-based coaching supports teachers while they navigate the jump from theory to practice.
STRATEGIC PLANNING
We support school leaders with the strategic planning necessary to shift instructional methods. Planning takes into consideration many factors such as schools’ unique needs, student and community assets, and available instructional resources.
