Professional Development & Staff Training

In addition to in-person staff training, Katie also offers on-demand professional development. This on-demand option consists of 30 day access to “grade-targeted” recordings (prek-5th) that may be shared across your school or district and a 1-hour “live” Q&A follow-up with Katie.

To determine which option best fits your needs and budget, please submit a workshop information request.

Science of Reading Phonics Workshop

Individual teachers purchasing on their own (outside of a school or district) can purchase a single teacher registration for the “Workshop Replay” recording here. This recording is for individual teacher purchase ONLY and may not be used for staff training due to the lack of grade-specific focus and informal recording/length.
