Professional Development with Amelia
As a national speaker and presenter I have been blessed with the opportunity to inspire and support educators, administrators, coaches, and specialists. If you are looking for a workshop packed with research, engagement, innovative, and ready-to-implement ideas, I am here for you!
I am passionate about sharing ideas for pairing rigor and engagement in the classroom. I love guiding teachers to help them implement lessons and activities that activate higher-level thinking skills in their students. I believe that true comprehension takes place across all subject areas, and I will help teachers take actionable steps towards cross-curricular teaching that is engaging, meaningful, rigorous, and effective. I am available to present at conferences, workshops, keynotes, building and district level PD, and more. Below are some of the topics I specialize in, and can create sessions to cater to your educational needs:
- Pairing engagement and rigor in an ELA classroom
- The Science of Reading in primary
- Upper Elementary Science of Reading
- Bringing books to life!
- Creating passionate and powerful readers
- Classroom routines and management for a successful reading and writing workshop
- Choosing and implementing the use of authentic texts
- The Math, Science, and Social Studies of Reading
- Small Groups have Big Meaning
- Race to Excellence: The Fast and the Furious 90 Minute block
- The Mad Science of Reading
- Cross-Curricular Instruction that makes literacy soar
