Texas Literacy Resources (formerly Reinhart Educational Resources) was founded in November 2000 by Kelly (Reinhart) Harmon. Over the past 10+ years, the Texas Literacy staff, led by Kelly Harmon, has provided district/campus-based professional development services to thousands of educators.
Reaching learners with diverse needs has been a passion-turned-career for Kelly Harmon. Mrs. Harmon believes learning should be exciting and joyful for all learners, not just the ones who fit the mold of “good student.” Through interactive workshops, conferences, and long-term technical assistance, Mrs. Harmon helps educators connect with their learners’ natural learning modalities, curiosities, strengths, and deficiencies. Each learner counts and because of that every child deserves an educational experience designed specifically to meet their needs. Knowing that the way to a child’s mind is through their heart, Mrs. Harmon designs literacy programs that relates research and practice to the interests, cultural background, and needs of the learners.
Effective, high achieving schools provide not only a curriculum that guides and supports standards-based learning, but also access to master teachers (instructional coaches) who provide ongoing professional development embedded in daily professional learning activities. Instructional coaches facilitate teacher learning teams as they make professional, informed decisions based on their own students’ needs and ability levels, in relation to curricular requirements and context. This leadership includes demonstrating research-based strategies, co-teaching and observations of teachers who are implementing differentiated instruction strategies, and data analysis throughout the year.
Texas Literacy Resources provides school districts with highly qualified instructional coaches who work with teachers 1-5 days per month. By contracting this service, schools have access to knowledgeable consultants who are extensively trained in standards-based curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Our instructional coaches work with Pk-12th grade teachers to support the achievement of all learners.
