With nearly 30 years of experience as a teacher, literacy coach, and staff developer, I provide personalized professional learning experiences around culturally responsive literacy practices. The work I do is founded on pedagogy that is student-centered, asset-based, well-researched, and joyful. I believe that transformational PD is built on positive relationships and learning experiences designed to build on educators' capacity.
Together we can create the conditions for all students to thrive.
