Last year was a big year of growth professionally for me. I left the comfort of what I was good at...teaching our youngest learners to read, write, and think in a whole classroom setting. Now, I was in a new position, working with the older learners, part time, small groups. It couldn't have been more different. I quickly realized that reading is reading, and I could rely on all the experience I had in my back pocket to navigate my new role. But now, as my maternity leave is behind me and the year is new again, I'm ready to expand what I know and what I am going to do with kids. I want to read Stephanie Harvey's book through an intermediate intervention lens. How can I help kids pull information from the text, enhance their comprehension, and carry skills they learn with me over to their classroom performance? How can I make the time spent in my room meaningful and beneficial to the overall student, translating into better scores and more quality work? My goal this year is to continue to grow into my role as an intermediate interventionist, becoming a better, more qualified support for our struggling learners.
