We're Amanda & Maire

The co-hosts of the Brave New Teaching Podcast & co-creators of the Teaching Shakespeare Workshops.

We've been teaching for over 30 years combined, and with that experience, we know exactly what NOT to do. We've failed plenty of times, and from all of those mistakes, we've learned how to carefully adjust and align our curriculum design to best:

  • meet students where they are

  • engage our students

  • teach basic AND challenging skills

  • align instruction with assessment

  • de-center texts and center inquiry

A Focus on Close Reading

During the training, Marie and Amanda will support you as you learn to design close reading lessons that drive the EQ throughout the unit. These close reading lessons are where we teach the focus skills and keep students working toward their common summative assessment.
