I am a literacy consultant who focuses on writing workshop. I've been working with K-6 teachers and students since 2009. Prior to that, I was a fourth and fifth-grade teacher in New York City and Rhode Island.
I'm the author of Craft Moves (Stenhouse Publishers, 2016) and the co-author of Jump Into Writing (Zaner-Bloser, 2021), Welcome to Writing Workshop (Stenhouse Publishers, 2019), and Day By Day (Stenhouse, 2010).
I live in Central Pennsylvania with my husband and children. In my free time, I enjoy swimming, doing Pilates, cooking, baking, making ice cream, and reading novels.

TWO WRITING TEACHERS 
I really enjoy the BPS. This is my second year to do a true literacy workshop and I love the refocusing that takes place with the BPS. For example, I have recently added Plan Boxes to help my students stay focused. It was great! Right not we are still in the modeling phase (they pretty much copy mine), but I saw majority of students referring to their box. It is also very affirming in the best practices I am trying. I feel as though I have a community to lean on even though I am on my own in my grade level. Thank you for taking the time to help stay focused!

Writer’s Workshop can feel like such a huge topic to tackle. I like the BPS because it gives focus to one area of WW. I think for people who are new to WW it makes it feel manageable. For people who are more experienced, it reminds us to stay focused on the four basic components; mini-lesson, independent writing, conference, and share. You guys are awesome!
