You might consider Meredith Davis from the Manhattan New School.  I'm not sure exactly how to contact Meredith, but I'm copying her mom, Judy Davis.  Judy retired from the Manhattan New School and is the author of The No-Nonsense Guide to Teaching Writing.  Meredith has done some good work with a friend of mine in Greenwich.

We are beginning to implement readers'/writers' workshop in our school.
I am looking for a consultant/professional developer to come to our
school for a two-day workshop/seminar on r/w workshops in K-5.  Does
anyone have a recommendation??  You can email me directly with contact
information if you don't want to post.  Thanks in advance!!

Have you tried www.kto8.com? It is subcription based but wonderful! You
have an account for each child, and you are able to assign lessons to
them, monitor their progress and even look at their online tests. It's
great!

interventions?

We use the toolkit in grades 3 and above.  Our district has a contract
with 
Steph and she has done many professional growth days for  us.  In fact
she 
will be with us this Friday and I am looking forward to  hearing her new

thoughts.  Her website for the kit has lots of good  information and
explanations.  I 
think it is  Comprehensiontoolkit.com.
We spent many days this year finding books and articles to use with the
kit. 
 The teachers like it, but they find that to do the lessons takes lots
of 
time.  Her organizers are very good.  There is also a CD of  the
articles she 
uses.  Each  school started with 3 copies and we have  added more.  If
you are 
interested in learning more about it, go to the  website.

Since the teacher is able to choose the lessons for each child, along
with the level (beg. or advanced) it could definately be used for
interventions. There are lesson plans to help the teacher introduce the
lesson, and then practices and assessments for the students to complete.
I found that the practices were often enough for most of the students.
However, I only assigned assignments that I had already introduced with
the class. Reading, writing and math are all covered on this site.
