REGIE ROUTMAN has more than forty-five years of experience teaching and working in diverse, under-performing schools and classrooms across the U.S. and Canada as an educational leader, mentor teacher, literacy coach, classroom teacher, and teacher of students with learning differences. Her many research-based books and resources have supported hundreds of thousands of teachers, principals, and educators at all levels to create and sustain trusting, intellectual school cultures where hearing all the voices, ongoing professional learning, and equity for all learners are priorities.
Her first book, Transitions: From Literature to Literacy (Heinemann,1988) was the first book by an American teacher to adapt and apply the highly successful literacy and language practices from New Zealand and Australia to U.S. schools. Recognizing the need for teachers and principals to "see," analyze, and be coached in the effective moves and language of responsive teaching, in the 1990's Regie created a unique, week long Residency Model where she worked side-by-side with teachers and administrators demonstrating principled practices to raise and sustain literacy achievement and create a joyful, collaborative learning culture.
