Lakisha Ball Educational Consulting provides literacy support through curriculum design, instructional coaching and consulting, and professional development to help schools accelerate student achievement.
Our work is grounded in three core values: service, simplicity, and solutions. We believe every partnership starts with genuine service — meeting educators where they are and providing TEKS-aligned support that is responsive to real classroom needs. Our commitment to simplicity ensures that the strategies we share are clear and ready to implement, cutting through complexity to focus on what works. We strive to deliver practical solutions that empower educators, strengthen literacy instruction, and create lasting success for students.

Literacy Masterclass
Literacy Masterclass
Ready to be the person on campus who doesn’t just teach literacy but actually owns it? This masterclass is the place to sharpen your skills, decode the RLA TEKS, and refine the comprehension, analysis, and writing routines students need to thrive.
We’ll break it all down with clear models, hands-on practice, and honest conversations about what works (and what’s just busy work). You’ll have time to ask questions, challenge your thinking, and see exactly what aligned, engaging learning looks like. Whether you’re building your foundation in the one-day intensive or diving deep with the full multi-day series, you’ll leave with practical tools to elevate your teaching — not for compliance, but for real, visible impact.
Do the WRITE Thing
Do the WRITE Thing
Let's be real. Writing doesn't have to be a headache. The right approach to writing with clarity and purpose can change everything, including students' scores.
This session is all about taking action with practical routines to mold writers who can express ideas clearly, support thinking with evidence, and craft responses that flow from start to finish. Whether responding to life, literature, or yes…even the STAAR test, this hands-on learning prioritizes doing the WRITE thing to develop writers.
Literacy in Motion
Literacy in Motion
Literacy should be active, engaging, and designed to keep students thinking. Period. And keeping literacy in motion shouldn't drain your energy; it should create momentum that everyone can feel.
This session equips educators with content knowledge and solid routines to get learners processing, questioning, and connecting every step of the way. The TEKS set the expectations, but with simple, high-impact strategies that help students read, write, and think deeply, we help you bring learning to life.
Custom Coaching
Custom Coaching
Every campus is different — your support can be too. Custom Coaching provides targeted literacy support that aligns with your goals. Whether it’s strengthening classroom instruction or building sustainable routines, we focus on what moves teachers and students forward. No one-size-fits-all approach...just real solutions that make a difference.
