Our guest this week is Lisa Larson. Originally, from NJ, but moved to Florida 7 years ago to care for her dad. This enabled her to finish college and gain her Elementary Education degree. Her passion is reading, and as a reading teacher she believes that children need to fall in love with reading to be successful. Currently, she is a Reading Interventionist pulling small groups all day and has been teaching for 6 years!
In this episode, Lisa and I talk about positive behavior support. The power of believing in a kid who struggles and the power of making a kid a simple sandwich for lunch. We also talk about teaching to a test and the failure of the school system to make reading accessible, relevant, and engaging for students to inspire them to read more!
