Professional Development That Inspires Teachers & Transforms Literacy
Engaging. Practical. Research Based. Relevant. Personal. Special.
Why Choose Katie Davis for PD?
Professional development should leave teachers feeling inspired, equipped, and cared for—not overwhelmed with theory they’ll never use.
Katie’s sessions are different. With over 18 years in education—as a teacher, building leader, and literacy specialist—she brings both expertise and empathy. Schools experience training that is customized to their needs, full of ready-to-use strategies, and infused with encouragement so that teachers leave saying, “I can’t wait to try this tomorrow.”
