Effective ELA instruction sits at the intersection of explicit instruction, skill mastery, AND student engagement.
Every lesson must be…
✓ Intentional – There is a clear learning goal, anchored in standards and supported by brain-based strategies.
✓ Interactive – Students are actively engaged in thinking, discussing, and applying their learning.
✓ Flexible – A variety of instructional models are incorporated: whole-group, small-group, partner work, station rotations, intervention, or independent work.
I design lessons that allow for student voice, collaborative thinking, and scaffolded practice.
Whether you’re looking for daily warmups, novel units, or standards-based mini-lessons, my goal is always the same: Make it easier for teachers to do their job well and for students to enjoy learning. ☺
