Hi Jennifer, Welcome to your new role on the list. I look forward to the continuing conversations. Elisa
Elisa Waingort Grade 2 Spanish Bilingual Dalhousie Elementary Calgary, Canada Hello everyone! It is my great privilege to moderate the mosaic list while Ginger is on sabbatical. She leaves very big shoes to fill but I know you all will help me to keep the conversation focused as well as enlightening to all who participate! As a way of introducing myself to everyone, I thought I would let you know a little of my background. I have been teaching for 15 years now. I was a late starter...worked in business out of college and then took a pay cut to become a first grade teacher...a move I have never regretted. During my time in first grade, I became National Board Certified...something that I am very proud of. Since then, I moved into the position of reading specialist and also teach Diagnosis of Reading Difficulties part time. My interests, naturally are comprehension strategies but also staff development and teacher training. I already moderate two listservs here in Maryland: one for Maryland National Board candidates and one small one for the reading specialists in my district. It was a very great honor to be asked to moderate this list which has been a crucial part of my own staff development for the past several years. I have been a frequent participant in discussions and have signed all my email as Jennifer, Maryland. We have had some amazing conversations over the summer and as the school year starts, I hope that this can continue to be the place to share thoughts and ideas about reading comprehension and reflect on our teaching in a risk-free forum. I know you all will join me in wishing Ginger a restful sabbatical and look forward to her eventual return at the end of one year.
