I created this document to help me really learn the differences in the common core from level to level in order to be able to better differentiate for my students.

Study Skills Handbook: Elaboration, Distinctiveness, and Making Connections
Companion to my Youtube video series on study strategies. This handbook in no way exhausts the different ways elaboration, distinctiveness, and making connections can be used to study and to learn.

Teaching style

I use inquiry learning in my classroom as a structure for learning about the time periods from which literature emerges. My classroom is built around individual choice in reading and writing.

Additional biographical information
My focus is on equipping students with strategies for learning. Learning is not remembering;, it is not doing; it is not completing. Learning is developing automaticity with skills and owning concepts to support their journey and success in higher level academics.
I want to support teachers as well with excellent literacy materials for teaching and learning.
