I am a seventh grade teacher in a high-need community in urban Pennsylvania. The teachers at our school have to purchase a majority of the paper, pens, and supplies for our classrooms. 80% of our students read below grade level, and as a reading teacher and lead curriculum coordinator, it is my job and devotion to help move our kids up to read at a proficient or advanced level. Our school made AYP last year for the first time and we are working hard to make such important strides again this year. Again, because reading is my focus, I am convinced that our students must grow as readers in order to make AYP and also help our students achieve in their academic lives.
