Mom, wife, Coordinator of Early Learning & Instructional Services @ AMAESD, lover of literacy, and an advocate for quality public education for ALL children.
The 25th Intensive Literacy Coaching Institute in Ishpeming, MI was an amazing adventure! The UP Blizzard didn’t stop the intentional learning for coaches, Ss and Ts. So thankful for Principal Byce who made this week possible, even when we had to go remote! #Michiganliteracy

While discussing "The Science of Reading Progresses: Communicating Advances Beyond the Simple View of Reading" by @nellkduke - someone suggested that we ask #ChatGPT to summarize the article in poem form... Still like the original better - but AI is amazing! #MACUL23
☀️Looking for research-informed guidance for developing school-based summer literacy programs K to 3? @EdInnovates, Sydney Janecke, & I developed the document at the top of this page to help w/ MI HB4048 and, we hope, to be helpful in other states as well: https://t.co/4mgoHo103z
“Next time you hear the phrase learning loss, think about whether we really want to define students by their deficits instead of their potential.” They’ve weathered & conquered a lot in past year. High expectations—not deficits—can go a long way this year. https://t.co/wGbti06jSa

Honored to be a part of spreading the word on the 10 Essential District Commitments at the MASA conference this morning! @Kyle_Mayer1 @Shellie_gohl@sean_larosa@stownie
Love what you do! Today I was honored to share a new document with Supes across MI focused on district level commitment to the Essential Practices in Literacy. Special thanks to @mrsgoaley and @Kyle_Mayer1 for teaming up with me today😉#MichiganLiteracy#ELTF#10Commitments
Just finished the pilot course for ISD literacy coaches on Essential 5 of the K-3 Essential Practices in Early Literacy. So blessed to have planned & facilitated this work with @Susan_LAllier & @SLSweetspeaks Proud of our new coaches who attended! #MichiganLiteracy@Erin3rown
MASA joins @MASB, @MEMSPA, @massp, and @MAISA_ISDs to call on @GovWhitmer to veto SBs 1149, 1150, & 1153. The bills provide business tax breaks to the detriment of the SAF. Michigan’s schools already face tight budget constraints, we can’t continue these erosions. #MichEd#MILeg
Proud of @OConnorAshlie and the work she has done with a group of K-1 Ts @AlconaSchools to create an effective distance learning plan for Ss. Tonight they shared their journey to other educators across the AMAESD! Connecting Ts & moving forward together is what it’s all about!
