About JAKE

JAKE

My name is Jake, and I am SO glad you are here! Whether it is from a joyful instagram video or by word of mouth, I am thankful for whatever inspired you to click.

 

I am an Ohio native who began my teaching career in Milwaukee, WI in 2015. Having specialized in literacy instruction, I built a following on social media for my engaging and rhythmic phonics lessons and evidence-based structured literacy lessons, even landing me on The Kelly Clarkson Show in January 2024.

 

Throughout my career, I've taught Pre-K, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades and have recently stepped into the role of Foundational Literacy Director for a choice school in Milwaukee, WI. In my role, I support a team of elementary teachers with their implementation of the science of reading. In addition, I co-teach an online Science of Reading Course for Elevate Your Classroom.

 

In my spare time, I present nationally for conferences such as Elevate Your Classroom, Unlocking SOR, IL ASCD, and Plain Talk. Welcome to Engage with Jake, where JOY and explicit instruction meet! Let's dive in! 

What is ENGAGE?

ENGAGE

Welcome to Engage: Rhythm and Movement in the Literacy Classroom

​

As a primary educator, it is my passion and mission to engage students through kinesthetic and multi-sensory movement. As Kirin Sinha once wrote for Edutopia,

 

“No matter how much we memorize, recite, and study, our muscle memory seems to trump our brains alone. We learn best when we combine mind and body." 

​

In addition to amping up literacy instruction, Engage! puts inclusion at the forefront and examines curriculum and instruction through an equity lens. On this site, you'll find lyrics, chants, printables, and book recommendations.

Well, Elevate! Academy has launched a new, specialized course focused exclusively on the science of reading. All this and more is covered in this 10-module course by Holly Ehle and Jake Daggett, two of Elevate!’s featured presenters!
