What can Mrs. L’s Leveled Learning Offer You and Your staff?
Hi! My name is Melanie LiCausi, creator of Mrs. L’s Leveled Learning, a professional medium for sharing my work. with Marzano Framework, Learning Goals and Scales, and Leveled Assessments. I create professional development for Learning Goals and Scales, Leveled Assessments for Marzano Framework and a growth mindset. These presentations come from the perspective of an experienced teacher who’s been in the classroom! My 13 years of classroom experience includes teaching 1st through 6th grade in all subject areas, 6th through 8th grade Math, 1st through 5th grade Reading Intervention, and 1st through 5th grade Gifted Resource. See my resume. I have spent hundreds of hours creating, revising, organizing, implementing and assessing leveled learning (differentiation) strategies. I personally know the struggle, pitfalls, and successes that classroom teachers experience when trying to implement new teaching models. My goal is to make that transition easier by sharing my own experience and resources. Read more to find examples of topics that I can customize to meet your goals.
