Milwaukee showed UP for Literacy is Life! Thank you, Aug Prep, for hosting educators from all over Milwaukee as well as Minnesota, New York, & Canada! I was honored to be the opening keynote speaker & to discuss the urgency of our nation’s literacy crisis. Can’t wait for Day 2!

Maybe hard to believe, but it’s possible for most teacher PD to be about improving teaching. Practical strategies and the research and why behind them. Simulations, practice opportunities, and videos to see it in action when children can’t be present. It doesn’t have to suck.

New year, new role, new headshots!

Learning objectives are one of the weirdest things in teaching. An event that lasts 10 seconds could orient students towards the day’s material, align assessments and goals, and create clarity for everyone involved, or be an awkward headache driven by compliance-minded leadership

A fabulous opening day at ℙ.𝕊. 𝟙𝟝𝟚 ℚ ! Thank you for having me open your school year!

Sarah Oberle, Ed.D. I believe in building stamina. But if they're non-readers, silent reading time may be a case of building numbness.

Modeling lessons in PreK to 3 has been a dream this year. Partnering with teachers and walking the talk!
