My Project

I want to express my gratitude for your support as I explore deeper into the science of reading. My goal is to utilize research-based strategies to better meet the needs of our students by immersing myself in the extensive knowledge of best practices. I aim to analyze and use data effectively for instruction to ensure all of my students can make growth and meet or exceed expected grade-level standards. Additionally, I want to ensure that the Multi-Tiered System of Supports framework is implemented to address all students' learning styles and that any gaps are met. I want to gain a better understanding of reading challenges and strategies to overcome them to help students gain confidence and a love for reading.
