Eunice Henry

Ascension Parish Schools, LA

“Mrs. Henry is an asset to the Ascension Parish School System. As she supports two of Ascension’s K-5 Primary Schools, she provides each school with information on how to use mCLASS (Reading and Math) and Amplify Reading programs and the many interventions and resources available. She encourages teachers to use the programs/interventions available to address student deficit areas as well as extend learning for those students that are meeting grade-level expectations. She dedicates time to teach the teachers how to use the software to best serve students and build capacity encouraging and allowing teacher independence to discuss and determine next steps within PLCs. She fits all this in while managing her many additional responsibilities at the primary school level!”

— Karista Reed, Pupil Appraisal Liaison, Educational Diagnostician
