She goes above and beyond for the students by making sure that she is prepared daily with lessons that are engaging. For example, with the support of the paraprofessional, she took an extensive effort to learn American sign language to support a student in the class. She was reluctant to be a virtual teacher, but with her passion for teaching, she refused to let her students down. She is truly one who goes above and beyond.” —Kennette Bardell, response to interventionist     Each featured educator will receive a special gift from us.  Calendar Register now Built for These Times: Making the Shift to the Science of Reading March 4, 2021 11 a.m. EST Virtual symposium This event is your front-row seat to learning more about the science of reading.
