Elementary Educators
We are a group of elementary teachers, teacher educators, and administrators. We welcome all educators interested in reading and the language arts. Our primary task is to support teachers as they work closely with their students and the students’ families. To accomplish that task, our elected leadership, the Elementary Steering Committee sets a mission statement that directs our work.
