| Program Descriptions: |
I love hanging out with writers, educators and book lovers of all ages. I’m also available for Skype visits, online workshops, and e-mentoring. Presentations and workshops include:
# home-school literacy connections,
# revision,
# character development,
# the art of dialogue,
# crafty brainstorming (stitchery, knitting, collage, bookmaking, etc.),
# encouraging reluctant and emergent readers and writers through creative arts,
# early childhood reading and writing activities and games,
# and writing for change (social action, activism).
I am available in the tri-state area (NY, NJ, CONN) for extended ‘residencies’ or workshops, including digital writing workshops, and will design custom writing workshops and programs (essay, realistic fiction, genre fiction, etc.) that complement K-12 classroom work and are framed by state and national standards.
I have 10+ years in literacy education and youth development work with children of all ages, adults, and families; a Professional Development certificate in the teaching of writing from the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project at Columbia University, an M.A. in Educational Technology and English Education from the Steinhardt School of Education at NYU, and my B.Sc. from Cornell University.
