Empowering Educators through Evidence-Based Literacy
I partner with schools and districts to bridge literacy research and daily classroom practice. From one-day intensives to year-long implementation plans, I design support that is practical, research-aligned, and built for real instructional change.
Professional Development & Workshops
Customized training for K-12 educators and instructional leaders designed to turn literacy research into classroom reality.
- Foundational Literacy & The Science of Reading: Deep dives into the neurobiology of reading and the instructional shifts necessary for student success.
- UFLI Foundations Implementation: Comprehensive training on the 148-lesson scope, focusing on high-leverage routines, pacing, and instructional fidelity.
- Linguistically Responsive Instruction: Evidence-based scaffolds that leverage the assets of multilingual learners through intentional cross-linguistic connections.
- Spanish & Biliteracy Development: Practical routines for phonemic awareness, decoding, and phonetic transfer to bridge foundational skills across Spanish and English.
Strategic Consulting
High-level guidance for school systems and curriculum providers.
- Curriculum Alignment: Auditing existing materials for alignment with the Science of Reading.
- Implementation Roadmaps: Planning the multi-year shift toward evidence-based instruction.
- Resource Development: Developing bespoke instructional resources that translate research into practice, including teacher-facing guides, slides, and implementation tools that support consistent literacy instruction.
The Methodology
My approach is grounded in three core pillars:
Evidence-Based
Grounded in peer-reviewed research.
Linguistically Just
Leveraging the assets of bilingual students through a cross-linguistic lens, including Spanish foundational skills.
Action-Oriented
No "fluff"—just practical tools that teachers can use the very next morning.
What Educators Are Saying
"The session was transformative. We talked about reading science, but also saw modeled routines, practiced them, and received tailored resources. I am excited to start teaching this now."
— Reading Interventionist
"I haven't had professional development like this. We covered the Active View of Reading and UFLI, but we also addressed linguistic justice for our Black and Brown students. It was the first time I saw those two worlds truly connected."
— Instructional Coach
"We received the training, but the resources were phenomenal. We now have comprehension questions for every single one of the 148 UFLI lessons. I am so thankful for this—you are a natural presenter who clearly understands the reality of our classrooms."
— K-2 Classroom Teacher
