Mid-Hudson Reading Council Service Award
Literacy is Karen Maher’s passion. She received her Ph.D. from SUNY Albany. Karen teaches at the elementary and graduate levels, and she is a District Literacy Leader. Karen is the current President of NYSRA as well as President of the Mid-Hudson Reading Council. In all her roles, Karen honors and celebrates the ways in which classroom educators utilize children’s literature to open classroom discussions of (in)equities and (in)justices, thus re-envisioning the life-stories of students through multiple perspectives and expanded definitions of self/others.
Congratulations Karen!
The Mid-Hudson Reading Council established this scholarship to provide support and encouragement for an educator, high school or college student pursuing study in the field of literacy.
