Malene Golding is the first interview on Cup of Capacity! Malene Golding is a wife and mother of 3, who is the founder of Golding Touch Education Consulting LLC, which provides critical professional development and job-embedded coaching in reading and writing instruction. She's also a Professor at the University of Houston-Clear Lake. Malene is the Chair of the Texas Association for Literacy Educators and the former Director of Elementary Literacy in one of the largest public school systems in Texas.  When I was dreaming up this fun project-to introduce educators and their leaders to masterful people in the education community-I thought of Malene. She is a wonder. Malene is a deep thinker, a person who both understands the requirements of our current accountability system at all levels and has a profound knowledge of what learning needs to look like to best meet the needs of our children. Her interview with me will go live Saturday, August 1, 2020. See you all there!
