"Teachers continue to perfect their craft by participating in quality forms of professional development. ReadWriteThink gives me the opportunity to grow as a teacher while developing resources that I can use in my own classroom."

LaDonna is a graduate of the University of Illinios, where she received her bachlor's and master's degrees in early childhood education. She has taught kindergarten for eleven years in Urbana School District #116. She is currently a candidate for the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards, which has proven itself to be the most rigorous and valuable experience of professional growth for me.
