Ellin Oliver Keene helped revolutionize how comprehension is taught across the U.S. Her bestselling book, Mosaic of Thought (coauthored with Susan Zimmermann) is now in its second edition, and gathers the current research on comprehension strategies to turn it into powerful teaching for any classroom. Ellin's latest book, To Understand, takes this conversation beyond strategy instruction. It challenges educators to consider what it truly means to understand, and offers a vision of classroom instruction that takes students to new depths of engagement and comprehension.

Through our on-site, customized Heinemann Residency Program, Ellin Olive Keene leads thoughtful, professional learning that guides teachers as they explore the theoretical knowledge and instructional strategies essential to literacy learning. She not only shares her expertise, but demonstrates, observes, provides feedback, and helps create a plan for continuing professional learning.

• helps schools assess and identify their strengths and their professional development needs
• engages educators in carefully crafted on-site professional development
