About this listen

Joining us today is Selina Cotton, an experienced teacher in the Ohio State Public School System. Selina, a designated master teacher by the Ohio Department of Education, shares her journey into teaching and the challenges she faces in a district dealing with academic distress.

In a district with limited resources, she highlights the importance of having the right tools to serve students effectively. Selina describes the extent of the deficit, with high school students reading and comprehending below grade level. To bridge this gap, she emphasizes the need to identify weaknesses, focus on individual needs, and provide ample reading opportunities.

Additionally, the value of peer support and leadership, empowering advanced students to assist their peers and fostering a collaborative learning environment.
