Program Director
I help to close the literacy gap through a program that engages both educators and families.
A day in the life of a program director may vary based on the stage in which we are working with school districts and partners. In this role, a good portion of my time is spent on planning, supporting school leaders, coaching, and analyzing data to improve programming at schools.
Here's the first step for college students
There is a huge need in the world for people who want to contribute to education. If that's you, go for it. I got my start as an educator through the Teach for America program. If you want to get into a position like my current role, I recommend finding an early childhood literacy program.
