� differentiated tools and instructional strategies

� pre-, formative, summative, and self-assessments

� unit and yearlong curriculum maps

� text-dependent questions to facilitate close reading, and more.

To help educators directly translate what she presents into effective classroom practice that impacts students, Kathy can provide a variety of PD opportunities (e.g., presentations, lesson demonstrations and modeling, coaching, collaborative unit design, etc.).

She is the author of six books: Mapping Comprehensive Units to the English Language (ELA) Arts Common Core Standards, 6-12 (May, 2013); Mapping Comprehensive Units to the ELA Common Core Standards, K-5 (� 2012); Lesson Design for Differentiated Instruction, Grades 4-9 (�2009); Staff Development Guide for the Parallel Curriculum (�2009); Curriculum Mapping: A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Curriculum Year Overviews (�2007); and Curriculum Design for Writing Instruction: Creating Standards-Based Lesson Plans and Rubrics (�2005).
