Translating Research Into Practice
Researcher • Speaker • Education Leader
I help educators and leaders make sense of literacy research—and translate evidence into practical decisions for classrooms, schools, districts, and systems.
Research is only useful when we know what to do with it.
I’m a learning scientist, published researcher, former elementary teacher and district literacy coach, and national speaker specializing in literacy, dyslexia, learning science, and research-to-practice translation. My work focuses on helping educators and leaders distinguish evidence from trends, understand what research actually tells us, and apply it in ways that improve instruction and implementation.
Speaking and Professional Learning
I speak with educators, school and district leaders, state organizations, universities, and professional associations about literacy research and its implications for practice.
