Consulting
There is a wealth of information within our communities and it’s a beautiful thing when we share it!
Which is why I decided to offer ‘community consulting’ aimed at helping parents and families within the community. With over ten years of experience as an educator in addition to a Masters of Language and Literacy from Harvard Graduate School of Education specializing in reading, I am in a unique position of understanding in the world of reading, writing and literacy. My classroom experience has spanned the ages from pre-k to 8th grade. I understand what it’s like to work with students who can’t put a book down and those who refuse to even pick one up.
If you’re struggling to understand your students report card, IEP or you just KNOW there is something you need to unlock in your child, set up a 30 minute consultation with me! I offer services from IEP analysis, comprehensive reading inventories and more! I have helped everyday families turn their homes into reading havens bringing best practices to their children.
Let’s work together to unlock your child’s potential!
Our Systems Need to Change
The world around us is constantly changing yet the world of education is slow to evolve. It wasn’t until 2019 when the pandemic hit that school systems began to put one of the most BASIC tools of the modern world into the hands of out students, computers.
Our students need to be prepared for the real world so they need real world education. Schools need to begin incorporating new era literacy practices, historically accurate examples of social studies and human relations and centering student’s needs at the core. Many non educators are shocked when they hear that there are middle school students who go their entire academic career without reading ONE novel. Educators in underserved communities aren’t shocked by this fact at all! We know that school systems push curriculum at our students aimed at prepping them for high stakes test that many, unfortunately, ultimately fail.
My approach to literacy is rooted in the idea that our students MUST be engaged through what they read. Without real world interest or engagement, we completely lose our students internal motivation resulting in low performing schools that only fail our children in the end.
If you’re school or non profit is looking to bring a unique, effective and culturally responsive approach to literacy, set up a 30 minute consultation with me! We can put our heads together to determine your institutions needs and the ways we can bring joy and engagement into your students literacy practices.
