As a full-time professor, it gives me great pleasure in working with dedicated practitioners who are committed to improving literacy achievement. Sharing educational methodologies and best practice enables me to grow as an educator. Although I am an instructor of a myriad of courses, the teaching and learning is reciprocal as I am always learning from candidates as well.
