Reimagine literacy with care, curiosity & critical thinking
Create more inclusive, engaging opportunities for the readers, writers, and thinkers in your classroom.
Hello! I’m Shawna Coppola.
I write professional texts and design professional learning opportunities for educators. I build upon what you are already doing in the classroom, while making space for nuance and collaboration.
As someone who continues to teach in the classroom, I understand how challenging it can be to balance students’ needs and interests with school/district policies and expectations. Teaching is not just a science or an art – it’s both!
I always work to balance theory with practice. Care, curiosity, and critical thinking are the foundation of my practice.
Invite me to:
✓ speak to your group
✓ facilitate a series of workshops
✓ design a virtual or in-person course
Kind Words
Shawna is always well-prepared, and enthusiastic about her content and her students…. I would highly recommend working with her!
Shawna creates such an amazing environment that encourages us to share and learn from each other.
Shawna made me think, made me laugh, made me feel more confident in what I was doing...of all the classes I’ve taken, hers has had the most dramatic impact on a child.
Shawna has such a relaxed way about her and is always so well prepared!!
