Literacy is...

reading, writing, speaking, listening and viewing a variety of texts in order to think critically, solve problems and make decisions.

Welcome!  I am a Literacy Consultant and Instructional Coach.  My primary area of focus is with adolescents.  Prior to becoming a consultant, I taught high school English for seven years and have been an Instructional Coach for nine years.  As a Literacy Specialist and Coach, I work with teachers to improve their instruction, with a focus on reading and writing in all content areas.  I implement job-embedded professional development to impact student learning.  I also have a special interest in new literacies (web3.0, 21st Century learners) and the emerging field of Critical Literacy.

I am a graduate of Georgia Southern University (B.S.Ed.) and Cambridge College (M.Ed.).   In 2003, I received National Board Certification in Adolescent and Young Adulthood English Language Arts.  In 2013, I renewed my National Board Certification.  I have Advanced Placement Literature and Composition training, International Baccalaureate training and am a Teacher Consultant for National Writing Project.

Being a teacher is my calling.  Some people have a job, even one which they love, but it is not their calling.  I truly feel that teaching is what I am meant to do.  I enjoy working with young people and want to share my love of learning with them and those who teach them.  As an educator, I can have a positive impact on society and make a difference in the world.  This is my contribution to society.  I feel everyone needs to give of himself or herself – I am just lucky enough to have an opportunity to do that daily.
