Reading and Language Faculty

Research, consulting in the schools, and involvement in curricular development keep our faculty in touch with current needs and issues important to teachers. The faculty represent diversity in their areas of expertise, in their teaching styles, and in their research interests. They all share a level of involvement that provides models and opportunities for their colleagues and students. In class, as well as in frequent dialog with individual students, faculty use their experience and expertise to meet each student’s unique needs.
