It’s storytelling that reminds us of who we are and why our work really matters.

I specialize in designing and facilitating customized professional learning experiences for K-12 educators, focusing on literacy instruction, curriculum design, assessment improvement, and standards-based grading. With 15 years of experience working with nearly 100 school districts, I document learning, create innovative writing studios, and blended learning environments that empower young writers and their teachers.

Hi there. I'm Angela Stockman.

I became a teacher because I had good teachers, and children are some of the best.

I spent twelve years in the classroom and some time as a regional literacy specialist before becoming an independent professional learning facilitator in 2008. Over the last two decades, I’ve lead complex system-wide curriculum and assessment design initiatives, the shift to standards based grading and reporting, sustained lesson studies, and the practice of pedagogical documentation in elementary, middle, and high schools in hundreds of systems within and beyond the United States. I’m a dedicated action researcher whose interests lie at the intersection of purposeful play, collaborative inquiry, multimodal expression, and culturally sustaining practices. Each of my books is a chapter in this great learning story that continues to compel–and yes–confound me.

Thanks for visiting. I’m glad that you’re here, and I hope that you’ll come find me on Bluesky, LinkedIn, or Facebook.

I'd love to hear your story.

Mrs. Stockman has worked with our K-12 common branch and ELA teachers for over 10 years. Her direct professional development work with these teachers has undoubtedly contributed to Starpoint CSD’s dramatic increase in student achievement as evidenced by the district climbing from a Business First rank of 26th in 2011 to 6th in 2016. Her knowledge of the common core standards, curriculum design, and effective teaching methods is unmatched. In addition, she has a keen ability to connect with K-12 teachers and motivate them to improve their practice.
