I would like to offer my experience as both a reading intervention teacher and a classroom teacher, backed by a master’s degree in literacy to a company that seeks a passionate, hard-working team player with strong planning and reflective skills as well as an extensive background in assessment, second language acquisition, and work with struggling readers.
