Educational Professional | Transforming Education by Creating Student-Centered Classrooms Based on Equity, Empathy, and Purpose.
There is something powerful that happens when a teacher reads to their students, engages them in the text, and inspires them to discuss their ideas. It took me years to master this skill set, so I am happy to see educators being given tools to better support their students and create interactive learning environments that allow students to connect to a text and feel seen—this leads to better learning outcomes. One of the keys here is creating a supportive learning community! Students need to know their ideas are valuable and a class should be structured in a way that encourages student thought and celebrates student voices. This is an extremely important tool in modeling and teaching empathy—reading and discussing complex texts in a supportive environment allows students to hear and have compassion for voices unlike their own. We are not just creating lifelong readers—we are creating lifelong learners who are confident in their ability to express who they are and have empathy for others—this is invaluable. #readingmatters #studentengagement #teachersupport #empathymatters #lifelonglearners
Research shows that when students have access to high-quality books and a supportive community, they become joyful lifelong readers. https://bit.ly/3vSk8Nl Scholastic R.E.A.L. enables school-wide literacy success through interactive read-alouds, literacy-based mentoring, increased family connections to text, and expanded home libraries.

👩🏫 When children develop a reading habit at home, the additional exposure to language helps them develop stronger literacy skills. Creating a comfortable reading environment at home, visiting the library, and using digitally-enhanced reading materials are all great ways to encourage children to read. 📘 Parents who want to help their children cultivate an interest in reading can also set aside time to read with their children. Introducing small books into a child’s bedtime routine can be a great place to start! Learn more about how you can foster a love for reading at www.appliedabc.com/blog,

Researcher focused on Men and Masculinities, Violence Prevention and Gender Equality Efforts, and Teaching and Learning in Higher Education
I developed this project with Anne Moore and Catherine Tingelstad for the library at UNCC. This is a curated collection of resources on free expression, constructive dialogue, and media literacy that is designed to educate and provide learning opportunities for K-12 (Primary and Secondary) educators, parents, kids, public librarians, and the general public. Free expression, media literacy, and constructive dialogue are interconnected concepts under the umbrella of respectful discourse. While free expression has long been considered a basic human right in the United States, constructive dialogue and media literacy are newer ideas that focus on the responsibility to engage in productive, informed interactions that focus on individual values, beliefs, perspectives, and the importance of credible information. Each of the three topics is organized by Definitions; Videos; Books, Articles, and Reports; Teaching and Learning Resources and Associations. https://lnkd.in/gJYAk48Y
