Stephanie Harvey professional development:
Such a wonderful woman, educator, and driven to write, collaborate, and insist on engagement and meaning making! It was a pleasure to meet her and learn by observing her teaching students, interacting with them, debriefing the experience with fellow educators, and sharing her values, beliefs, and thought processes. Some notions that I will take away to implement in my own teaching practice are: seamless reading (whereby reading's purpose is to entertain, inform, and instruct), Word Keeper (modeling for children to be caretakers of words), and lessons as a practice and opportunity to use a strategy regardless of the particular text, and the selection of shared readings for the rich and purposeful context they provide. Nothing wasted! Affirm and encourage. Empower.
