Personal Statement When I was in grade school, my favorite teacher was my 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Devers. She had a passion for literacy. In the first few weeks in language arts groups, we spent part of our time writing and editing stories, and the other part reading and discussing stories. The day concluded with Mrs. Devers’s famous read alouds that grabbed the interests of the most struggling of students. She taught us in order to be good writers; we had to learn to be good readers. This foundation—that reading and writing go hand-in-hand—is vital to academic success. My diverse teaching background lends itself to guiding all types of students on their literacy journey. I feel blessed to be following in Mrs. Devers’s footsteps.
