Phenomenal Intervention: S.T.A.A.R. Prep

In this article, I share how I improved a group of 29 students performance from 45 to 79 percent pass rate.

E-Book: The Playbook

“Phenomenal Intervention: The Playbook” is a manual intended to serve as a guide, not script for Reading teachers, Interventionist , and Resource teachers. It’s split into three parts: Progressions(Formations), Components(The Plays), and Appendices(The Clinic).

#WisdomWednesday: “Hone Your Skill Set”

Last week, I took part in two training sessions. One on Adobe applications and another strengthening my knowledge of data and how to use it properly. Monday, I looked to grow my skills further by attending a Google L1/L2 certification training. I’m pretty good with a few Google Workspace applications(Sheets, Docs, and Drive) but IContinue reading “#WisdomWednesday: “Hone Your Skill Set””

#WisdomWednesday: Invest In Yourself

Today, I attended a Region 4 Data Conference: Learning From The Numbers(Strengthening Data Practices). It was a training that I had to pay for myself, but I know Data is “my jam” and honing that skill is something that I want to do. A keynote from Dave Nagel kicked off the conference. That initial addressContinue reading “#WisdomWednesday: Invest In Yourself”

#PhenomenalFriday: “Don’t Compete, Dominate

#PhenomenalFriday: “Don’t Compete, Dominate” As I reflect on the week, I thought about the theme for the week in The Phenomenal Room: “Don’t Compete, Dominate.” For the first three weeks of the 4th quarter of the school year, I’ve taken my two Bubble Groups(May or May not pass State Assessment) through Pre-STAAR Prep–where I retaughtContinue reading “#PhenomenalFriday: “Don’t Compete, Dominate”

#PhenomenalFriday: “I’m Getting Recognized”

#PhenomenalFriday: “I’m Getting Recognized” As I reflect on the week, I thought about how I’m Getting Recognized. Thursday, I received an email from a LitCon 22 representative with the evaluations(ratings) for my presentation: Adding Rigor To A New Word Study Approach. Me: 👀👀👀👀👀👀 Did people like the training? Apparently so. I was graded in fiveContinue reading “#PhenomenalFriday: “I’m Getting Recognized””

#PhenomenalFriday: “Bringing Value”

#PhenomenalFriday: “Bringing Value” As I closed out the week, I set up my Intervention Room for more students. While doing that task, I couldn’t help but reflect on the week. Starting with Tuesday. On that day, I showed another teacher my Word Power resources. She liked them and said that she’d use them. The nextContinue reading “#PhenomenalFriday: “Bringing Value””

Response To Intervention: Phenomenal Analysis

Two-plus years ago, I created a Word Study routine called “Phenomenal Word Power”, which was originally conceived for the traditional classroom. Spending the past six months as a Reading Interventionist, though, I’ve found ways to adapt for small groups. One of those modifications is Phenomenal Analysis, or incorporating all the components of Reading in anContinue reading “Response To Intervention: Phenomenal Analysis”

#PhenomenalFriday: “It’s The Culture”

#PhenomenalFriday: “It’s The Culture” Tuesday, a new student entered my classroom. My students: “Welcome To The Phenomenal Room.” She immediately got to work…learning Verb Tense and pushing through the challenging Reading assignments that day. Wednesday, I opened the day with what I’m calling the Gem of the Day: “Ball Is In Your Court.” To makeContinue reading “#PhenomenalFriday: “It’s The Culture””

#PhenomenalFriday: “Thanks For The Cut”

#PhenomenalFriday: “Thanks For The Cut” Reflecting on the week, I thought about one of my favorite Eric Thomas quotes: “If you want to shine bright like a diamond, you have to be willing to get cut.” This week, I got “cut.” Let me give background. Two years ago, I created and developed a Word StudyContinue reading “#PhenomenalFriday: “Thanks For The Cut””
