Research, translated into
routines you can use Monday.
I speak and train at local, state, and national literacy conferences, universities, and organizations on dyslexia, spelling, word reading, writing, and the science of getting evidence-based practice into real classrooms.
Every session ends the same way: with instructional routines and strategies educators can put to work the next morning, grounded in the research and ready to use.
Areas of expertise.
Two areas where I bring deep research and classroom-ready routines, plus the sessions I'm asked for most. Every talk is tailored.
Instructional practices
Spelling, writing, and multisyllabic word reading: the word- and text-level instruction that moves outcomes, translated into routines educators can use the next morning.
Data & intervention
What effective intervention takes: explicit instruction, data-based decisions, and specially designed instruction for the students who need more, including those with dyslexia and IEPs.
From recent engagements.
Dr. Chandler has forever changed me as an educator. I would come back to the conference just for him.
Your sessions were the ones we received the most feedback on. Many attendees asked for you to return.
Dr. Chandler has energized me, encouraged me, and inspired me. His workshop is one of the best I’ve ever experienced.
One of the most valuable workshops I’ve attended in a very long time, and I engage in a lot of professional learning. Jam-packed with immediately useful, evidence-based resources. I feel far more confident I can narrow in on what works.
This was one of the best sessions I have ever attended! The most valuable part was all of the information about SRSD. I can’t wait to redeliver to my school.
