Sharon Strene, mentor

I knew her well when she worked at Plymouth-Canton Schools as an English teacher. I was her supervisor during the first year of her career in the field of English Language Arts. Frankly, she was the most amazing first year teacher whom I have ever worked with. She was driven by helping ALL students, which resulted in her doing a myriad of different things to reach their hearts, not just their heads. After completing her class, I believe that almost all of her students were reading often, which resulted in their ability to read with understanding and high interest. Jennifer was remarkable. Her ability to care and teach so well gave meaning to many, including me. We have lost a great one.
