Our Mission: Empowering teachers to grow readers and writers. We work with educators to grow evidence-based literacy practices through training, consulting, and coaching services so all students learn to read and write.

Push in and pull out instructional support for students.

• Taught sixth, seventh and eighth grade Reading and Science.• Created and taught a Unit Plan based on Suzanne Collin’s The Hunger Games, in which students dressed up as a character of their choice and underwent an interview with Caesar Flickerman (played by me). Using their gained knowledge of theme and their characters’ values, students analyzed their own attire to prove its relevance. • Taught a Unit Plan that I developed based on John Boyne’s The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Students selected a scene they believed to be of the upmost importance, using elements of film and theme. I taught them to analyze the scene and predict how it would appear in the movie. After watching the film students wrote a second paper in which they compared their predictions to how their chosen scene actually appeared in the film. • Participated weekly in the after-school Homework Help tutoring program.
