The workshop includes interactive sessions, practical exercises, and collaboration opportunities with fellow educators.
By the end of the workshop, attendees will have a robust toolkit of techniques to enhance reading instruction and improve literacy outcomes for their students.
We specialize in providing comprehensive workshops designed to assist educators in integrating literacy skills across various content areas.
Our workshops emphasize the importance of incorporating reading, writing, and critical thinking into subjects like math, science, and social studies to enhance overall student learning outcomes.
Participants in our workshops will receive practical strategies, resources, and lesson plans tailored to their specific classroom needs.

We offer a dedicated workshop for K-12 teachers on Personal Narrative as deep learning, enabling educators to integrate these techniques within their classrooms.
Participants will engage in various exercises that employ narrative techniques to deepen their understanding of their experiences and communicate them effectively. This approach not only enhances storytelling skills but also fosters critical thinking and emotional intelligence.
By attending our workshops, individuals can gain valuable insights into their own lives, improve their narrative crafting abilities, and apply these skills in personal, educational, or professional contexts.

We offer specialized workshops designed to help K-12 teachers prepare for the edTPA (Teacher Performance Assessment) with a focus on literacy.
Our workshops are tailored to provide comprehensive support and practical strategies, addressing key components such as planning, instruction, and assessment in literacy.
Participants will gain hands-on experience with lesson planning, analyzing student work, and reflecting on teaching practices to meet the high standards of the edTPA.
Our goal is to equip teachers with the knowledge and skills they need to excel in their edTPA assessment, thereby enhancing their teaching effectiveness and student outcomes in literacy.
