Finding ways to reach and embrace linguistically diverse student populations

In past years, Rachel worked with children through the Boys and Girls Club of Southeastern Virginia and the College Partnership for Kids as an after-school tutor. As a junior, Rachel completed her student teaching at Magruder Elementary School in Williamsburg. Rachel says her background in Linguistics helped her more effectively teach emergent readers and writers in the first grade.
