I am interested in applying for the ELA Curriculum Team Rep for Eighth Grade. Although I would enjoy and feel I would be qualified representing eighth grade for either the ELA or Social Studies Curriculum Rep, my true passion is with reading and writing development. I am deeply concerned with students that are unable to read at grade level and struggle with comprehension. It also concerns me that at some grade levels we may not be meeting the needs of these students. Students being able to express themselves well through written language is another concern I have. It is important that they are able to take their creative ideas and express them in a variety of genres. I believe I have continued through my career to take classes and attend workshops
