Phyllis Hostmeyer has 20 years of experience as a classroom teacher and 8 years experience as a School Improvement Consultant. She is a member of the ISBE Language Arts Assessments Advisory Committee, and has helped in the development of ISAT tests. She is also a professional storyteller and uses those skills in her presentations. What do teachers say about her language arts workshops?

“Best workshop I have attended in 32 years of teaching.”

“I appreciate having activities that I can implement tomorrow when I return to the classroom.”

“This workshop gave me a plethora of material; practical strategies and activities that I will actually use.”

“The presenter’s content knowledge and sense of humor really kept the day moving quickly.”
(quotes from teachers in Dixon, Moline, Collinsville who attended reading / writing workshops with Phyllis)
One thing for sure – teachers will never have to sit through a sausage workshop. You know the type: teachers sit while a presenter stuffs them full of research and theory. Teachers can expect to participate in a wide variety of activities and discussions.

Any workshop can be retooled to better meet the needs of the participants. Many schools conduct a needs assessment and forward that to Phyllis so that the workshop can then be designed to meet their specific needs.
