Hi, my name is Matt Renwick, and I’m glad you’re here!
What is this space about?
Read by Example helps teacher-leaders grow authentic literacy beyond a single classroom. I share a former principal’s insider view of how change takes hold in a challenging system.
If this purpose rings true to you, subscribe today.
A little bit about me:
I am a dad to two teenagers and husband to Jodi, a special education teacher. (My son is the “random walker” in the background picture above.)
I am an avid reader, amateur gardener, and (very) part-time bookseller.
Previously, I was a classroom teacher, athletic director, and school principal.
I currently serve as a systems coach for a regional education service agency.
I am the author of three books on instructional leadership and technology integration.
What can I expect from Read by Example?
Each week, I post a free newsletter to all subscribers that includes:
My current thinking on leadership and/or literacy.
Resources I’ve found useful and relevant for educators.
Insights and quotes from what I have been reading.
Benefits for paid subscribers
In addition to weekly posts, paid subscribers receive additional benefits, including:
the ability to post comments
virtual conversations with thought leaders
early access to special events
The value of these resources exceeds the cost of a paid subscription.
Founding members receive a 1:1 coaching/consultant call with me.
Take care,
Matt
P.S. Complimentary subscriptions are always available, no questions asked—just email.
