Korey Collins

Mr. Korey Collins provided a refreshing and impactful professional development experience for our school. Teachers walked away equipped with immediately usable, innovative tools to enhance reading instruction across all content areas. His approach to presenting data about the state of reading education was both eye-opening and thought-provoking, encouraging us to reflect deeply on our current practices.

What truly set Mr. Collins apart was his interactive style. Rather than relying on a standard PowerPoint presentation, he modeled the techniques on the spot, placing teachers in the role of students. This hands-on approach allowed educators to experience the strategies firsthand, making them more tangible and applicable in the classroom.

Teachers appreciated hearing from someone who understands their daily challenges--being a current teacher himself. His authenticity and willingness to engage in real, honest conversations were especially valued. Overall, Mr. Collins' session was a much-needed and meaningful professional development opportunity that left a lasting impression.

If you haven't had Korey Collins provide professional development to your staff, what are you even doing?! After attending an incredible conference at the Ron Clark Academy, I knew instantly, I needed my entire staff to witness and understand these strategies! Korey is not only passionate about vocabulary and the importance of reading, but he was high energy, real, and ready to roll with any questions! I honestly could not have asked for a better day of PD for my team
