Welcome!
I'm so glad you're here.
My name is Joy, and I've spent my career teaching literacy across multiple grade levels—from Pre-K through graduate school. I've served as an English Teacher and a Secondary Academic Specialist focused on literacy, and I want to share what the research says about Literacy with Secondary students. I earned my PhD in Curriculum Studies with a research focus on teacher professional learning through social media. Kind of makes sense I'd be here now, right? Communities like this serve as a third space where we can come together across different districts, which is so important in the interconnected world we live in.
I created this community because I believe secondary teachers deserve a place where research meets reality.
There is no shortage of literacy advice online. What teachers need is clarity about what strategies are research tested and which work in practice. Lets have some honest conversations about what works and help each other out.
Community Guidelines
- Be respectful and supportive.

Let's Start a Conversation
What is the biggest literacy challenge you're facing right now?
Is it reading comprehension? Writing instruction? Student motivation? Vocabulary? Something else?
I'd love to hear what's on your mind.
Introduce yourself in the comments and tell us:
• Your role (teacher, coach, administrator, parent, etc.)
• What grade level(s) you work with
• Where you're joining from
• One literacy challenge you'd like help solving this year
Welcome to the community—I can't wait to learn alongside you!
