Debbie Diller began her career as an educator in 1976. How time flies, and how the world has changed! Debbie taught PreK through 10th grade in public schools in Pennsylvania and Texas. Her experience ranged from being a classroom teacher to a Title I reading specialist to a migrant education teacher to a literacy coach, as well as a national consultant and author. She is the author of many books, including her latest series for Corwin Literacy: Simply Stations. There are four books, with each about a specific literacy station — Independent Reading, Partner Reading, Listening and Speaking, and Writing. She’s also just written Simply Small Groups: Differentiating Literacy Learning in Any Setting. Debbie has also published many books for Stenhouse Publishers, including Growing Independent Learners, Math Work Stations, Spaces & Places, Making the Most of Small Groups, Literacy Work Stations, and Practice with Purpose. She made several videos on literacy work stations and small group instruction.

Debbie is constantly on the move – walking long distances, hiking and biking rail trails, or sampling new group exercise classes just for fun while on the road. She has a passion for gardening, loves going to concerts and museums, and enjoys helping friends with home and classroom makeovers!

Stay tuned for Debbie's next adventures! She loves to create and plans to continue writing and to host a podcast.
