THEN YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE, MY FRIEND!
THE SECRET TO UNLOCKING THE POWER OF READING GROUPS
Look, I understand the challenges teachers face – from engaging students in reading to managing small groups and juggling limited resources, because I've been there. I was left on my own my first year of teaching to figure it out myself. I'm pretty thankful for that. All the challenges I've had to face over the last 16 years have led me to create and, more importantly, use researched based resources and practices in my own classrooms.
I created the pillars of Small Groups Made Easy to offer solutions to these struggles. These proven strategies, classroom management, planning, and professional development resources are here to support you every step of the way. Let's transform those late-night worries into moments of inspiration and empowerment in your teaching journey, shall we?

Step into the teacher you want to be.
What would it look like if your small groups basically ran themselves? What if you could avoid spending hours after school or on weekends trying to gather the right resources that are effective and engaging? What if you could refresh your instructional practices, chat with a consultant with no scary evaluation attached, and connect with others who are on this same journey? I know this has been life changing for me and the other teachers who I have coached and who have used my resources. It can be life changing for you, too.
