Translating Science into Practice

Research-grounded training designed to elevate literacy instruction

I lead high-impact virtual workshops and trainings that help educators cut through the noise and apply the science of reading and writing in real classrooms. Each session blends evidence-based literacy research with practical strategies you can use the very next day. Whether you're a classroom teacher, reading interventionist, or special education educator, you'll walk away with tools that work.

What Educators Are Saying

“The workshop is a thorough and concise entry point of information and resources for all educators in the support of high school students’ literacy development. Dr. Chandler is a dynamic and engaging facilitator who has successfully consolidated a wealth of information into 3 hours. Participants leave the workshop with knowledge and tools to apply Monday!”

-Literacy Coach

“The pace was perfect! Engaging, fast-moving, but never overwhelming. I walked away energized instead of drained (which isn’t something I usually say after a PD session!)”

-Dyslexia Therapist

 “I came away from Brennan’s workshop with several resources, information on multiple strategies, and ways I can help students in a public school setting and in private tutoring. I left feeling like I finally have a clear roadmap!”

-Special Educator

“Brennan’s perky pace makes a three-hour workshop feel like a one-hour workshop. Not only does he provide theory and research, but he is also able to take the research and show practitioners how to apply this knowledge into the classroom meaningfully.”

-Reading Specialist

This is one of the most valuable workshops I've attended in a very long time, and I am someone who frequently engages in professional learning opportunities. The session was jam-packed with immediately useful information and resources… I also feel this workshop saved me time because I can narrow in on what works, instead of constantly sifting through all of the ideas and resources out there.”

-Learning Specialist

“This was the most useful three hours I’ve spent on professional development all year! Brennan has a way of making research feel doable and giving you just what you need to feel confident putting it into practice.”
