Let’s ReaDesign Learning—Together

Are you ready to bring Building Thinking Classroom (BTC) strategies into literacy instruction across subjects? Or looking for practical, research-based routines that make literacy more engaging and effective in any classroom?

I work with schools, districts, and educators to make teaching more intentional, impactful, and sustainable—without adding more to teachers’ plates.

Ways We Can Work Together:

✅ Professional Learning Sessions – Interactive, high-energy workshops designed to meet your team’s needs
✅ Ongoing Consultation – Hands-on coaching and strategy development to embed BTC and literacy across disciplines
✅ Co-Planning Support – Collaborative lesson design to make literacy accessible in math, science, social studies, and more
✅ One-on-One Teacher Coaching – Personalized support to refine instructional practices and maximize classroom impact
✅ Team-Based Learning – Working with grade-level or subject-area teams to build cohesive strategies that stick
