Carrie has been a pivotal and integral part of our literacy program (reading, writing, phonics, and grammar) development and implementation over the last five years. From Reading and Writing Workshop 101, to a Deep Dive into a Mini-Lesson, to the Glamour of Grammar, to Small Group Instruction, to Calibration of Benchmarking, Carrie's knowledge base and experiences are deep and authentic. She's assisted us with pacing guides, book rooms, and classroom libraries. She's provided embedded coaching in the classroom to our teachers on a monthly basis. Most importantly, though, she's built positive, trusting relationships with each of our teachers, to the point where they are comfortable to reach out on their own to gather Carrie's perspective on a particular unit, teaching point, or assessment. Our teachers (and principals!) look forward to the days that Carrie comes and to our days together over the summer. Carrie is honest, genuine, organized, and a hard worker. Our District and our teachers have grown in practice because of Carrie. We would not be where we are without her!
