Expert Support, Built Around Your Child

Canty EdWorks works with families across a wide range of circumstances — whether your child attends an independent school, is homeschooled, travels frequently, or simply needs targeted support that goes beyond what the classroom provides.

Families We Work With

Independent school families — seeking support that matches the academic standard their school sets.
Families with flexible or travel-based schedules — including those in entertainment, athletics, or other professions that require adaptable session structures.
Families following a private evaluation — who have an assessment in hand and need an experienced interventionist to turn those findings into a working plan.
Homeschool families — looking for structured literacy or subject-area expertise to complement their home curriculum.
Families seeking broader educational support — Dr. Canty's background spans all elementary subject areas.

Evaluation-Informed Planning

We build your child's plan from existing assessments when available — or begin with our own structured observation and screening process.

Literacy & Subject Area Support

Structured literacy instruction alongside support across core elementary subject areas — reading, writing, language, and more.

Flexible Session Structure

One-on-one or small group sessions, scheduled around your family's needs — including within the school day at select independent schools.

Measurable Progress

Clear benchmarks and consistent updates so you always know where your child stands and where they are headed.

Professional Development That Meets You Where You Are

Dr. Canty brings the same depth of knowledge and classroom experience to independent schools and public districts — with a clear understanding that each environment has its own structure, culture, and resources.

Independent Schools

Individual Expertise, Directly to Your Faculty

Independent schools rely on carefully selected individual experts for professional development. Without access to federal PD budgets, the quality of outside expertise matters even more. Dr. Canty works directly with your faculty to build literacy knowledge and instructional capacity that lasts.

  • Literacy curriculum audit and alignment
  • Faculty PD on structured literacy practices
  • Instructional coaching for PreK–6 teachers
  • In-school student support sessions
Public Schools & Districts

Outside Expertise Worth Bringing In

Public districts benefit from bringing in independent voices for keynotes, professional development days, and literacy leadership sessions — especially when the goal is to move beyond what internal resources alone can provide.

  • Keynotes and guest PD sessions
  • Science of Reading district workshops
  • Curriculum audit and gap analysis
  • Literacy leadership sessions for administrators
