“It is important to note that these students’ full progress does not always show up on the district given tests. It is necessary to look at the starting point of [the reading teacher’s] groups. Only then can you truly appreciate the growth they have made” (first grade teacher).
”My students enjoyed receiving small group support from our Literacy Resource Teachers (LRT). They made more than a year's growth/improvement in their reading and have gained more confidence in themselves as readers. Most of these readers will no longer need this support next year because they are now reading at or very close to their grade reading level. Thank you LRT! We couldn't have achieved this without you!” (second and third grade bilingual teacher).
“We are speaking constantly of the miracles and struggles” (former Hoover reading teacher).
"Thank you for all your support... We are so lucky to have your expertise, skills and passion to help our struggling little ones and to support the teachers. These two years that I have been a combo K/1, it has been wonderful being able to witness more closely the transformative positive results of your work. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being a guardian angel at Hoover to those who need an angel the most!" (kinder and first grade bilingual teacher).
“For the past 16 years I have worked with Reading Specialists in different schools … and I have never [before] had the opportunity to admire and acknowledge the kind of job that a great reading specialist should accomplish. [At Hoover, the reading teacher] has monitored, helped, reinforced, and advanced my students in need; in such a way that I really can see the improvement in my students” (first grade bilingual teacher).
"[The reading teacher] has been absolutely amazing. She has lent or given me so many wonderful literacy materials. She is super quick and responsive if I ask for anything. She has met with me whenever I've asked to help plan lessons or just bounce ideas off of. She is incredibly prepared and organized for the students. She is totally conscientious with her schedule; if she has even a few minutes, she will pull students. Also, she has offered to train ...the student teacher, on how to administer the [assessments]. I feel extremely fortunate to have her working with me and my students. Hoover is very lucky to have her" (first grade bilingual teacher).
