WHY IS THIS WORTH MY TIME? (I’M ALREADY SO CRAZED!)

Do you wish your students could be more successful? How many are reading 2 or more years below grade level by? Are your students struggling with written output (spelling, vocabulary and organization)?

Be the hero you are! Yes, it takes time to learn to use these tools (I’ll help you with shortcuts).
You and your students will be amazed at what a difference they make.

Apply what you learn immediately.

HOW CAN I FIT THIS WORKSHOP INTO MY SCHEDULE?

The virtual format is designed for your busy schedule. We will meet webinar style, 2 hours a week via zoom.
I’ll show you how to use tools, what their benefits are and how to determine if they are appropriate for your students.

Support for your overloaded brain: time saving resources, quick cards and short videos have been developed for you to use & keep.
