1.  FL SPDG - I currently serve as SIM Professional Developer  for the FL SPDG.  I work with several professional developers to conduct both Learning Strategies and Xtreme Reading PD.  Since joining the SPDG, I have provided PD with Janet Atallah and Rosanne Arvin for the Xtreme Reading Florida Cohorts 2 & 3.  I have also provided PD with other SPDG PDers in Learning Strategies. In addition to providing PD, I coach a group of teachers in both Learning Strategies and Xtreme Reading.  In 2021, I co-presented with Janet Atallah at the Florida SIM Update.
2.  University of Central Arkansas Mashburn Center for Learning - For the last three years, I have provided Xtreme Reading Professional Development for the AALI at the Mashburn Center.  This year, I am offering on-line PD for the Rosebud School District in Arkansas.  I am also in the process of trying to develop an online PD module for Xtreme Reading.
3.  KUCRL - I have provided PD this school year for the KUCRL in Montana, New Mexico, New York, and will soon begin a project in Maryland.  I also serve on the Xtreme Reading Cadre, helping to provide resources for Xtremeville.  I was fortunate enough to receive the Jan Roth Spirit Award at the 2021 SIM Conference.
