Wow, Nixa Teachers Are Throughout Linda Dorn's New Book!



Linda's new book, Changing Minds, Changing Schools, Changing Systems: A Comprehensive Literacy Design for School Improvement, will be introduced at the Reading Recovery Teacher Leader Institute in June 2014.  On the cover is our very own Valerie Jett and Sarah Pollack from High Pointe Elementary.  

All proceeds from this book will be used in the area of professional development of teachers.  Linda's hope is that this book will illustrate how literacy educators are working together to improve school culture, enhance teacher expertise, and increase the literacy achievement for all students.


Chapter 7 is written by our very own Dr. Cindy Owens.  It focuses on the effectiveness of the Interactive Writing intervention for struggling readers in kindergarten.  Featured in the chapter are the instructional practices of Rena Comer and Valerie Jett.
