Picture
With over twenty-five years of experience in literacy education in primary, secondary and tertiary settings, Lighthouse Literacy offered a range of services for schools, including consulting, coaching, and delivery of professional learning in the area of literacy instruction.

But I've started a new adventure in school leadership in 2020, and so Lighthouse Literacy Consulting and Coaching needs to take a break. 

This site remains as a space where I can add lesson ideas to the Lighthouse Library and, occasionally, post in The Beacon.


I believe in creating a learning atmosphere that is deceptively calm and peaceful, with underlying energy and curiosity and intellectual rigour. I also believe that there are many ways to knit a jumper, and many ways to achieve excellent student literacy outcomes. By employing a range of models and strategies based on sound research, you and your schools can achieve: 
  • increased self-efficacy of teachers for reading, writing and spelling instruction
  • improved confidence and well-being of teachers
  • greater teacher agency through engagement with a range of literacy pedagogies
  • joyful literacy blocks
  • rigorous and compelling units of inquiry
  • differentiated practices for all students (and teachers!)
  • improved student outcomes in reading, writing and spelling.

There's still work to be done.

Get cracking!
