Distinguished Educator of Literacy Award

This Thursday Dr. Amy Mancini, our Director of Assessment and Accountability will be receiving the Nebraska Distinguished Educator of Literacy Award at the NSLA conference in Kearney.  For those of you that know Dr. Mancini, you know that this is a well-deserved honor.  Not only is she an avid reader and constant advocate for reading at all levels, but her expertise and leadership around literacy have positively impacted teachers and students throughout her career.

Although Dr. Mancini's position changed this year to the Director of Assessment and Accountability, it has not impacted her passion for literacy and willingness to spread the love of reading in any way possible.  She is currently directly involved with the Nebraska State Literacy Association and will be leading an online book study that involves others from around the state! She often tweets out and motivates others to share what they are reading as well as accepting any opportunity to read to students!  She is very good at this, by the way! Feel free to invite her to your classrooms!

 I appreciate Dr. Mancini's love of learning, ongoing support of our teachers, principals and students, the way she takes action to improve outcomes, involvement in the community, and insight into how our data is impacting overall student achievement. Because of her, we are able to make informed decisions to support all of our campuses.  Dr. Mancini is a valuable member of the L4L team!

Please join me in congratulating Dr. Mancini for this recognition!
