Assessment
Reading surveys are valuable tools used by educators to understand and tap into students' interests, preferences, and reading habits. These surveys gather crucial information that helps in tailoring reading materials and strategies to match the diverse needs of learners. Informal assessments play a crucial role in educators' teaching practices by providing valuable insights into students' understanding, progress, and learning needs. Theses assessments will be done in class. This information is valuable to me so I can plan accordingly to the learners needs.Class Experience

Teacher expertise and credentials
Literacy development was always a passion for me, especially when I was teaching in urban education. My undergrad degree in Elementary Education wasn't enough to support my students literacy development. This is why I went back to school and received my masters and doctorate in reading and literacy. This has allowed me to look at alternative methods in literacy development to help struggling readers.
