Real Feedback from Educators
"There is a lot for me to take away from this professional development experience. I enjoyed working with Angie. I think she was very helpful and flexible. I think that the strategies and methods I learned from this PD are adaptable to different classrooms and different classroom situations."
Isabelle Petagna
9th Grade ELA Teacher
Baldwin High School
Baldwin, NY
"Emily is knowledgeable in both ELA content and Serravallo's work. She is flexible in planning and able to jump into what we're doing to model lessons (whole class and small group) or watch us teach and provide feedback. I can easily take what she's shown me and use it immediately. My ability and confidence in leading small group instruction have grown exponentially since I started working with Emily. My Serravallo chart book is marked up and set up with lots of examples and ready to use for different skills targeted toward higher or lower-performing readers and writers. I've done small group instruction with skills for the main idea, theme, figurative language, comprehending characters, and more. Emily continues to meet me where I'm at and build ideas from there."
