What We’re About…

CWG isn’t another trendy education space. It’s a grounded, professional community designed for teachers who want more than theories and mandates. Here, you’ll find clear, practical learning that respects your time and leads to measurable change.

We focus on three pillars:

  • Assessment that reflects learning — not just compliance

  • Literacy practices that last — across grade levels and disciplines

  • Instruction that’s realistic — sustainable shifts with real impact

At CWG, everything comes back to one goal: equipping teachers with the tools to teach with confidence and purpose.

How You Can Engage

CWG offers multiple ways to connect and grow:

Teacher Book Club
Join small, focused cohorts where we read powerful books and turn big ideas into classroom-ready strategies. Discussions are live, interactive, and practical.

Consulting & Coaching
Work directly with Dr. Dawson through short strategy sessions, curriculum audits, or tailored workshops. Whether you need a grading overhaul or literacy support, CWG consulting delivers clear steps and usable plans.

Student/YA Book Club (CWG Page Turners)
For grades 7–12, CWG Page Turners creates a space to explore young adult literature, strengthen analysis and discussion skills, and build confidence in reading and writing. Parents get peace of mind, and students get meaningful growth.

Conversations Worth Grading is here to help teachers reclaim professional learning that matters. Whether you want to read, reflect, or redesign your classroom systems, there’s a place for you here.
