“Beth has played a critical role in supporting the launch of our charter school. Through curriculum writing, full day workshops, lab-sites, coaching and more, Beth has provided more than 20 consulting days to our school over the course of two years. She’s supported our general education literacy programs as well as provided support and work around connecting and scaffolding our curriculum in RTI and our ESL program. “

” Beth is incredibly knowledgeable. I have her to thank for the the foundation of reading, writing and word study that I have as a K-2 teacher! She has an infinite amount of ideas and is always willing to work together to ensure that every teacher she works with has an understanding of every aspect of balanced literacy. She truly cares about teacher and student success and will stop at nothing to achieve it.  “

“I was a first year teacher when I met Beth over 9 years ago. She helped me set up my new classroom, set expectations and most importantly, helped me make sense of the ELA curriculum. As a first year teacher, I was overjoyed by Beth’s guidance. Since then she has been a constant source of information. Her knowledge of Reader’s and Writer’s Workshop is immense! She not only has helped develop our schools’ units of study, but also helps teachers implement this curriculum in an engaging way. Now, as an ELA teacher in 4th grade, I am confident with reading and writing instruction, and owe ALL of that to her!”

” She is highly aware of individual adult learning styles AND literacy content, which makes learning easy! Even if I am in a room with teachers that have different levels of experience, we all walk away having learned something from each other and her. She creates a collaborative culture in her sessions, but also is able to differentiate for each individual teachers’ needs. She always presents professional development goals in a way that feels approachable to every single teacher. Working with Beth has been inspiring. As a math coach, she often collaborates with me to create many cross-curricular ties! “

” My sessions with Beth were the best professional development I’ve ever received!  She has a remarkable ability to hone in on each teacher’s professional needs and provide instruction, support, and feedback specific to them.  I’ve grown so much as a teacher by working closely with her!
