“Answers are closed rooms; questions are open doors that invite us in.”
Nancy Willard
I teach.
I am a Literacy Consultant working closely with schools and districts to design professional learning around reading and writing. I lead seminars and workshops, facilitate study groups, conduct demonstration lessons and provide one-on-one coaching.
I regularly present at national and international conferences and am the author of Readers Front and Center and co-author with Vicki Vinton of What Readers Really Do.
My philosophy is simple: when teachers learn better, students learn better. I emphasize processes as well as skills and rely on close observation of students and reflective inquiry to guide my work.
Contact me if you’d like to talk about how I can support your school or your district.
