Practical Professional Learning Designed to Inspire Growth

Book Ruth

Most professional development adds to an already overflowing “to-do” list. Ruth Ayres does the opposite.

As the Editor-in-Chief of Choice Literacy and the Director of Lead Learners, Ruth understands the unique weight instructional influencers carry. She bridges the gap between high-level instructional theory and the lived reality of leadership with a signature blend of authenticity and heart.

Whether she’s keynote speaking or coaching a small cohort, Ruth’s sessions resonate because she approaches complex challenges with radical honesty. She doesn’t just share “what” to do. She honors the “who” behind the work, leaving instructional influencers, coaches, teachers, and administrators feeling understood, equipped, and genuinely energized to lead.

Necessary Topics. Practical Training.

Topics include teaching writers, overcoming hardships, and building confidence in instructional influencers.

Ruth Ayres’ love of writing and children is evident with her heartfelt session. She explains why writing is challenging for kids of trauma and how we as educators can draw good writing from our students. Her years as a teacher give her strong background knowledge along with her witty humor, make professional development a joy. It was also helpful that she’s worked with all levels of students and could relate to everyone. Staff members enjoyed her sessions and have requested she come back again.
