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 
That’s me! How exciting. Donors Choose is such a wonderful such a great site. And I sure am glad I joined Facebook just to follow Two Writing Teachers. Thanks so much.

I have had a project on Donors Choose for just a few days and have already had 2 donors. I cannot wait to get the project funded and get our calculators!

I loved the video! I have had several projects funded by Donors Choose, and I recently taught a class in my district to other teachers so that they could get projects funded as well! I LOVE Donors choose. God Bless the companies like Intel who donate!

I enjoyed the split personality of the video! That’s how I feel (but I have 6 personalities! ) as I transition back to school and welcome/guide my young learners to be part of a first/second grade learning community

I hope Intel gets their 200,000 views. What a generous donation to Donor’s Choose, an organization that is so necessary in today’s economy. Thanks for sharing.

Our schools are new to DONORCHOOSE and it is a great way for teachers to get needed supplies and equipment and even better way for me to support my children’s teachers.

I am teaching a new kindergarten class this year in an inner city classroom that has a 99% poverty level. I am hoping donorschoose can help me get some supplies to help make my classroom a success!

I thought the video was pretty scattered and at first I wasn’t sure what it had to do with DonorsChoose! I have used donorschoose to “vote” for Reye’s Syndrome research…what an amazing organization. Love that they are donating this chunk of change to tech in he classroom!

What a hoot of a video! Really got it’s point across in a way that made me want to watch it all. As for Donor’s Choose, LOVE THEM. Couldn’t teach and treat my students to all the things they need and deserve! I currently have 5 proposals up for donor’s to contribute towards.

Donors Choose has been a great lifeline for my classroom. We were able to purchase Flip cameras and flashdrives. Very thankful to the people that invest in education!

What a fabulous opportunity for schools to be able to increase technology! I’m sure there are so many rural districts like my own, where there just seems to be no money or even broadband capabilities to stream videos. What a terrific prize to win.

As a follower on Facebook, I have gained so many new ideas while extending others from *two writing teachers*. The video reference for Donors Choose fit in that “new” category! As a campus coach for teachers I will certainly share with my staff this opportunity to fund their classroom needs through the generosity of others. Thanks!

We used Donors Choice to get Flip Video Cameras for many of the special education teachers in our district. It was easy and of great benefit to our students.

This is extremely timely in our district’s classrooms today. We are taking 30 minutes just getting logged in to take attendance. How do we expect students to be “21st Century” prepared with that? Great video!

I’m using Donor’s Choose to buy a document camera, so I can project student work, pictures and graphic organizers. I do not have an overhead projector, so instead I am photocopying paper repeatedly, which is a waste of time, paper, and ink.

Love the video! Donorschoose has helped lots of classrooms. I signed up for it while in the classroom but never reaped the benefits. However, I know of lots of classrooms that have. I am also a BIG fan of Intel. Have been through professional development with this organization and use their website a lot!
