Carol B. McCullarPersonal ProfileCarol is passionate about the teaching of reading. Without reading, she believes, there is no learning. Her teaching career spans several decades, but over the past eight years she has concentrated on the teaching and coaching of struggling readers. She believes that reading does not come naturally to every child. Some children, especially those from poor backgrounds or whom English is a second, third or even fourth language have to be taught in a specialised way to "crack the reading code".She relocated from South Africa to the United States of America in 2007 where she was first exposed to the specialised teaching of struggling readers. 10 years ago she established The Butterfly Readers, an organisation whose aim is to provide reading interventions to struggling readers globally.Carol considers teaching as her calling. Her career has seen her hold positions from classroom teacher, to school principal to world-class facilitator in Diversity Management and Personal Mastery. Carol has a proven record in facilitating and teaching and in the early years leading up to a democratic South Africa, Carol worked closely with the Little Library Project in developing authentic South African story books for South African children. Carol spent several years training teachers all over South Africa in cross-curricular teaching with The Little Library. Her love for the classroom led her to The Diversity Institute and The Pacific Institute where she facilitated workshops in both personal mastery and Valuing Diversity.Carol spent several years as project coordinator with The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). She worked closely with leading universities: Kwa Zulu Natal, Fort Hare and the university of the North. Now her focus is on unlocking the potential of those children who struggle with reading.
