What are some administrative barriers to schools achieving student literacy success through their RTI/MTSS plans? Sometimes we have to have the uncomfortable conversations. These slides are from a series I facilitated with some brave NYS school leaders. #EduCoach #EduChat

Day 1 for Tiger staff & let me tell you I will be leaning *hard* into Tiger fashion this year! Giving Bean is here to make sure these educators are deliciously caffeinated, & a portion of proceeds benefits our cubs! 🐯 ☕️ Happy back-to-school season, everyone, and *thank you* 🤓 #EduSky #EduChat

I got to spend the last 2 days with Western NY educators who are refreshed, rejuvenated & ready to put their new learning into action! There’s nothing quite like lighting a spark that sends teachers back to school excited abt their teaching & knowing you’ll be back to support them. #EduSky #EduCoach

It feels fabulous to plant roots in my new public school district role & still have the flexibility to support educators worldwide. Looking forward to more moments like this: My colleague said, “If a little girl comes up to you and asks to borrow a cup of sugar, that’s Lola.”🤣💖 #EduSky #EduCoach

Can. Not. Wait… to lead this webinar for school admins & teachers today. I studied the origins of reading-related RTI and implementation in NYS for my doctoral dissertation. Findings have implications for the new commitment to the science of reading in NYS and beyond. See you soon, NYSASCD! 🤓📚📈
