A resilience developed through dedication and hard work:

Growth Mindset

My belief is that a teacher who possesses a growth mindset can ultimately affect every student who enters his/her class to become the best version of themselves.  This includes personal and academic growth.

WorkShops and Trainings

**New** Inference Ingenuity

With the short and extended constructed responses coming our way, students need strategies to connect and infuse compositions with analysis, inferences, and text evidence. This workshop will offer hands-on activities that will support teachers as they build as many instructional "bridges" as possible to guide students toward composing successful informational responses. Participants in this session will experience the instructional methods through the eyes of the teacher and the student.  Let's go toe-to-toe with STAAR 2.0!!!

**NEW** Rejuvenating the Reader Response

Engaging students in analytical reading is definitely a challenge; however, adding the writing process can seem overwhelming. This session will infuse reading with enriching writing strategies that will not only engage your students but guide them through revision of their written responses.  Teachers will leave with ready-to-go STAAR 2.0 writing lessons that will make an impact on instruction.

Unit Development: Reaching Rigor Through Planning

Unit planning is enhanced when teachers have a system of steps to guide instructional greatness!  This workshop will be customized to fit each participant's needs as teachers will bring their TEKS, curriculum guides, and resources.  So, if you are ready to roll up your sleeves and get down to business, this training provides the skills and processes necessary to create learning experiences that will help you and your students to thrive.

Hands-On Reading and Writing

Get ready to fill your instructional toolboxes with engaging  strategies that will help  your students crystalize their learning!   Participants will have multiple opportunities to experience  reading and writing with "creative rigor" that will support STAAR  literacy skills.

Reading Lenses: To the STAARs and Beyond

Participants will experience a strategy that truly gives purpose to reading and enables readers to analyze on rigorous levels.  Multiple genres will be explored along with making connections through writing.  Ultimately, participants will learn how to teach their students to write STAAR-level questions.

Reading Lenses 101

Participants will learn how to determine reading lenses based on the TEKS that should be taught and then apply them to engaging selections. Ultimately, teachers will learn how to teach their students to not only think on the STAAR level, but to write their own questions like a STAAR test creator.

Reading and Writing Reunited…And It Feels So Good!

Participants will combine the reading lenses strategy with a reader response activity. From there, revision of writer’s craft will lead to a longer composition. This is truly “sucking the marrow” from reading and writing instruction.

Authentic Writing—Lessons that Last!

One of the struggles that most students face in their compositions stems from “development of ideas.” This 3-hour session will help teachers build their students’ background knowledge through activities such as the MLK Body Biography.

Through the Clouds (HOTS with Bloom’s and Costa’s)

Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) will be addressed through Bloom’s and Costa’s levels of questioning. This workshop can be cross-curricular as well.

Visual Writing Rubrics

Before teachers or students can effectively address STAAR prompts and compositions, analysis of the rubrics must occur. This 3-hour session will give teachers and students memorable, effective tools that will boost essay success through a visual interpretation of rubrics. This session can be cross-curricular as well.

PAWS (Producing Awesome Writing Skills) Camp

This session puts together some of the biggest-bang-for-your-buck writing strategies that I have ever experienced. All elements of the STAAR rubric will be explored with engaging activities.

About Me

My Background

Growing up in a large family of educators, I began my personal teaching journey in public education over 30 years ago.  I received my Bachelors of Science in History and English with a minor in Secondary Education from what was then known as East Texas State University (Texas A & M University--Commerce).  Along the way, I was blessed with amazing students who helped me grow as an educator.  Also, there have been countless other educators who mentored and guided my professional development over the years.  

My Experience

Having taught grades 6-12 over a 30-year career, I had the opportunity to teach English I-IV, English Language Arts and Reading (6-8), Speech Communications, and Art.   I have also been a mentor teacher, instructional coach, and ultimately worked in curriculum as an instructional strategist.  Along with my own professional development and coaching, I have been honored to work with Gretchen Bernabei's Trail of Breadcrumbs Team.

Just a Texas Gal

Living on our family farm that goes back generations, I get to enjoy a little piece of Heaven daily.  Our daughters are the fifth generation of our family to live in our old country home.  It's that feeling of home, family, and grace that always guided me in my classroom. I love the outdoors working in our garden and taking long walks.  My love of reading and history also pushes me to constantly seek new knowledge and travel to local historical places.  And, if you ever need a good buttermilk pie or amazing brownies, I am your girl!
