Teaching style
Because Carla's primary responsibility has been with reading intervention for struggling readers, her instructional methods are based upon the individual needs of the student. Her lessons are hands-on, active, and thoughtful. She encourages lots of oral discussion with high level questioning, and she includes writing throughout the reading process. She LOVES interactive notebooks, anchor charts, mentor texts, and working with anything fun and active.
Awards & shining teacher moments
In the past, Carla has received several educational grants totaling almost five thousand dollars to purchase books for classroom lending libraries and literacy workstation resources for her schools lending room. With these funds combined with Title 1 reading funding, she was able to add nearly 3000 books to her school's classroom libraries. She has also presented many workshops through her involvement with the Virginia State Literacy Association and with her local reading council where she served in multiple leadership capacities including web development, social media, secretary, vice president and president. Now, she supports other TPTers with web design and development and continues presenting in workshops both for teachers and TPTers.
My own education history
Carla has a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Iowa State University and a Master's degree in Reading Education from the University of Virginia.
