For Schools

I support middle and high schools—urban, suburban, and private—with literacy across the curriculum, teaching and learning, curriculum development, professional development, new teacher training, competency-based education, leadership, and more.

Some things I believe

Teaching and learning should be equitable, effective, and joyful.

Schools are best served by tailoring solutions to their specific needs, not applying templates or boxed programs.

Coplanning and cocreating with teachers and administrators leads to buy-in, sustainability, and success.

Coaching and facilitation that build upon individual and community strengths while introducing new skills and approaches are the way to effect long-term, positive change in schools.

What it might look like:

School
Change

Spearheading schoolwide and departmental transformation, including curriculum redesign, reading across the curriculum, project-based learning, and a literacy initiative that helped a school rise from Level 3 to Level 1 in state rankings

Professional Development

Designing and leading teacher institutes, ongoing professional development, and workshops on topics like competency-based education, curriculum redesign, writing across the curriculum, and reading complex texts

Coaching Teachers
& Administrators

Coaching teachers—as they design and implement curricula, lessons, and assessments and incorporate literacy strategies into their instruction—and administrators—as they lead teams and build new programs

  • “Becca has played an instrumental role in advancing the academic integrity of our school. She coaches our teachers with gentle encouragement, thoughtful questioning, and insightful perspective. Her keen intelligence, expert facilitation, and astute instructional knowledge make her an invaluable resource.”

    ALISON HRAMIEC, HEADMASTER, BOSTON DAY AND EVENING ACADEMY

  • “Becca gets teachers. She knows the enormous demands on their time and energy and can adjust her coaching as needed for novice or veteran teachers. She is a quick study who can listen to a teacher, query them, diagnose their needs, and guide them to create purposeful writing projects that meet their goals and let students demonstrate their best thinking.”
