Do you want to run meaningful and inclusive small reading groups that are engaging and purpose-filled?

Join our workshop to discover inclusive strategies for organizing your classroom to support individual student needs. You'll have the opportunity to reflect on how your current setup supports each learner and how you can further support struggling learners, We will explore tools that empower students to move and learn with purpose, and learn how to create a flexible weekly calendar for seamless rotations. We’ll also cover the power of clear expectations and inclusive rule-setting, helping students build independence and confidence. Sign up for this quick professional development that will give you more time to work with individual students without leaving your class in chaos.

YOUR HOST:

I'm Irene, an educational specialist (and parent) focused on teaching reading holistically. It's more than words, sentences, and pages.

I am an educational reading specialist with over 10 years of global experience in leading reading groups towards success. As a passionate advocate for holistic education, I specialize in creating immersive learning experiences that inspire and engage individuals at all levels of the reading spectrum. The bottom line? Enjoyment and meaning behind your reading! I'm also a parent to an older neurodiverse learner and understand how hard it can be to get them to try.

What People Are Saying...

Robert Pitts

Irene is professional and kind in her instruction of students with a range of learning needs. She provides targeted reading instruction and consistently monitors their progress. She has continuous positive success.

Jeff Head Director at Joglo Clubhouse

Irene was dedicated to our students, combining social emotional with learning through mindfulness practice curriculum. Every week, she began with a 5-10 minute mindfulness activity. Then, a small group of readers worked through a lesson. They are excited to see her when she comes, and look forward to her lessons each week. One notable aspect of Irene's teaching approach is its systematic nature. Her sessions were thoughtfully structured, with each skill building upon the next, creating a seamless and effective learning progression. Kids now recognize that they have practical tools and are actively learning and using strategies to stay calm when needed. Irene's impact on our students goes beyond commendable – it's making a real difference in their lives..

I worked with Irene McCann-Braun to help create plans for a new office in Jakarta. Irene worked with me to create a framework. She has had an amazing experience overseas and helped me so I can get a better plan for our project in Jakarta.
