Debbie Diller, a national consultant and author, has been an early childhood/elementary educator for over 40 years. Debbie uses her experience as a classroom teacher, Title I reading specialist, and literacy coach to teach others about sensible, realistic ways to meet the differentiated literacy needs of all students in the classroom. She is known for her groundbreaking work on independent learning, small group instruction, and classroom design and has authored many books, videos, and an online course that are widely used in classrooms and universities throughout North America. Debbie’s Corwin book series, Simply Stations, was inspired by her work in classrooms to answer the question, “How do I provide meaningful practice for the rest of the class when I’m meeting with a small group?” And her book Simply Small Groups answers the question, “How do I build from students’ strengths to help them grow as readers?”
