OSWW is growing its program and coaching team this year. Kate and I are thrilled to have Deirdre Sullivan join us for coaching and workshop instruction. Her extensive experience, unique talents with teaching kids with different learning styles and needs, and enthusiasm for all things grammar makes this a perfect fit for all. Deirdre is already coaching students this summer and will be co-teaching Fall 2011 OSWW Fundamentals (more details on that soon). Here is more on Deirdre:
Deirdre Sullivan, a former English and Spanish teacher, also supervised the Write Place, a peer mentoring program at Fenwick High School in Oak Park. She graduated cum laude from Boston College where she majored in English and minored in International Relations with a concentration in Spanish. During college, Deirdre worked as a copy editor on the Sub Turri yearbook. She believes it is pertinent for students to fine-tune basic English grammar skills in order to advance to composition level writing. Deirdre has a personal interest in assisting students with special needs, but has been a passionate educator for varied levels of learners; over the past twenty years she has been a classroom instructor for students ages 7 to 70.
