I would have to say that one of my biggest success stories from last year was working with struggling readers who made significant gains. I teach first grade in a SAGE school which also receives Title I services. Throughout the course of the year, by working with the learners, their families, and my fellow staff members the vast majority of the identified struggling readers were able to meet and in some cases even exceed grade level standards. If it weren't for the hard work, dedication, and time invested by all parties it would not have been a goal so successfully met. I am a firm believer that all can succeed when help is available, praise and encouragement are given, and the desire to accomplish is strong. As an educator, I am constantly reminded that learning and academic success is well worth the hard work and determination. I love my job and love seeing how teaching guides lifelong learning.
