Deb trains
teachers in the Four Blocks Framework!
The Four
Blocks framework provides classroom teachers with a structure of instruction
utilizing many of the best practices in reading and writing. It also provides
a strategy which assures that children of varying levels of ability and
a variety of learning styles will be provided with instruction which consistently
meets their needs.
Deb is
available for school wide and classroom Four Blocks training. She has
worked with teachers extensively. Deb's sense of humor and down to earth
style blended with classroom experience makes the day enjoyable.
"I
hate listening to presenters but DEB is the best. She makes Four Blocks
easy to understand!" Title I teacher, Michigan
"I
love Deb Smith. I have only seen her twice, but I copy everything she
writes here (on the mailrings) and on the teachers.net chat board."
Thea, second grade teacher from PA
"It
is so easy to understand how writing looks in a classroom. Deb teaches
about all the baby steps necessary in teaching writing." Cathy, first
grade teacher, CA
"This
is the best conference I have ever been too!" K teacher, Phoenix,
Arizona
