Your Path to Clarity and Confidence
We all want to feel confident and see our students succeed.
We scour the Internet looking for “another tool in the toolbox.” We ask questions on social media hoping someone has a “recipe” or “magic formula” that would help us get organized about scientific word study.
But we end up feeling overloaded and scattered. We spend more time collecting than teaching. We lose confidence because there’s always something new we “should” know. Tools and strategies sit unused or half-learned.
More stuff doesn’t make us better—it just adds stress.
You Don’t Need More Content. You Need Intentional Practice.
What if the problem isn’t what you don’t know? You’ve probably taken courses, read books, joined Facebook groups. You understand the English spelling system better than you did before. The challenge isn’t learning one more thing about orthography; it’s creating intentional practice where you actually use what you know with your students.
One Step Now gives you a system for consistent practice:
- Weekly word investigations that give you content that compounds over time
- Coaching and courses that bridge the gap between knowing and doing
- Strategic reflection that grounds and strengthens your practice
- A community of teachers walking the same path
Let me show you what this system looks like:
Imagine:
- having one or two reliable strategies you can use that really move the needle
- using them to teach the Big Ideas, the concepts that are foundational to learning about English orthography
- reflecting on each iteration; “What worked?” “What can I adjust?”
- noticing growth in your students and in your own skills
- only adding new content and new tools when they address the current situation (“just in time” instead of “just in case”)
One Step Now helps you get better with what you already have. No more overwhelm.
You need the right anchors, the right practices, and the right people beside you.
That’s the path. See which step is right for you.
