We know the importance of foundational skills instruction, but how can we make our daily teaching as meaningful and manageable as possible? What are key practices that should be incorporated in every lesson? How can I support the wide range of learners in my classroom?
Teachers will leave this workshop committed to:
• Following a research-based scope and sequence;
• Designing lessons following a structured literacy frame;
• Teaching students to blend sounds using the most effective techniques;
• Incorporating handwriting skills to cement letter-sound correspondences;
• Differentiating whole-group instruction; and
• Creating opportunities for students to respond and review new concepts in ways that transfer learning from working memory to long-term retention.

You two are fantastic! You are knowledgeable, positive, and inspiring. You understand that teaching is challenging and change is the only constant. You deliver information in a way that is accessible and manageable.
What worked? EVERYTHING! Carissa you are absolutely fabulous and so gifted and talented at what you do. You can tell you have a true passion for it as well and it shines through! I have never learned so much, had so many "ah ha" moments, or had so much fun at a workshop!
Carissa is so engaging, and clearly presents the work in a way that is clear and concise. She is truly a master of her craft and I love learning from her!
Fabulous PD. I'm fired up to teaching writing this school year!
It was by far the best writing professional development seminar I have attended!
Maria did a wonderful job presenting. She is extremely knowledgeable and very friendly.
I greatly appreciate the professionalism and knowledge of both literacy coaches, Maria and Carissa. They are an invaluable asset to me as a teacher, as well as to my school!!
This was a fabulous three days, and I'm thrilled to have been able to get to participate. Maria, you've made me so excited to start the literacy workshop in my classroom this year!
I love Maria and Carissa and the resources they provide for me as a teacher and teacher leader in my building. Going into my third year with CLG, I felt very confident about planning.
