In this episode of All For Literacy, host Kerri Larkin sits down with Maggi Lambert, principal of Cloud Peak Elementary in Buffalo, Wyoming. Together, they unpack how a rural school community transformed its approach to literacy—moving from one-size-fits-all interventions to a dynamic, data-driven, and collaborative model that empowers every educator and student.
Maggi shares her journey from classroom teacher to principal, the pivotal role of professional learning, and how including paraprofessionals and using data as a tool (not a weapon) led to measurable student growth. If you’re a school leader, teacher, or literacy advocate, this episode is packed with actionable insights and hope.
