Build the capacity to keep going
Sterling Literacy Consulting works alongside school and district teams to connect literacy plans with daily instruction. Our aim is to build the knowledge, routines and leadership capacity your educators need to carry the work forward.
We start with your curriculum, assessments and classroom practice. Together, we identify priorities and connect professional learning with coaching, feedback and support between visits.
The people in your schools own the day-to-day work. We help leaders and coaches support teachers, use student data and adjust the plan as they learn.
What guides our work
Help educators understand the why
Professional learning connects reading research with the choices teachers make in the classroom. Coaching gives educators time to plan, practice, reflect and ask questions about their instruction.
Work with leaders and coaches
Principals and instructional coaches carry the work between visits. Sterling Literacy helps them develop a shared vision, support implementation and use observations and student data to decide what comes next.
Focus on a few priorities
Improvement does not always mean adding another program. We help teams identify the practices that need attention and build routines for using them consistently. The goal is a literacy system that can continue as people and roles change.
