Bringing Literacy to Life
"I think the best way to refine my practice is by working with teachers to serve children in classrooms. Formulating questions with teachers and taking an inquiry stance positions us as learners and researchers. We don’t have all the answers and we are in this together! It’s this type of model that keeps us focused on our craft and I believe will help teachers be more resilient by uncovering new paths to take." — Ganell Tremont.
