About me

I have a passion for education and especially for ensuring that all of us continue to apply what we have learned. I am excited about the opportunity that the Lounge provides for all of us to discuss how we are applying what we have learned & to share those great ideas.

I have had a varied background from secondary education to corporate training & now working in the career college sector. But while I have moved in different circles it has always been surrounding my passion of education. I look forward to our conversations.

Helping Students with Reading Challenges

Kathryn, this is definitely a sensitive area. One suggestion is to ask them where they think they are struggling the most? Ask them what their difficulties are? This might encourage them to open up about their reading struggles. Dr. Ryan Meers
