MICHIGAN'S (AND MY OWN) HOLY SH**T MOMENT
I have been a teacher in Michigan since 1992. Over the past several years, to my chagrin, reading achievement in our state (according the NAEP test) has plummeted, making our students some of the worst readers in the nation....and it has been getting worse and worse since 2003! I absolutely hate admitting this, but it is one of the reasons that I took a position as an early literacy coach last fall. I can't stand by and just watch this happen...I feel strongly about doing something to make things right here in Michigan!
