(If you aren’t currently teaching let us know what your educational background and experiences are.) What is your knowledge/training in the area of literacy?

My name is Ryan King. I teach high school math in Lebanon, OR. I have been teaching and coaching for five years, all of which have been at Lebanon High. I teach seven periods during the day, including a before school math lab and a freshman study hall. My content ranges from Pre-Algebra through Algebre 2 and I have students in all four grade levels. I have roughly 150 students assigned to me throughout the day. My school offers an academic resource center (ARC) during each classroom, but I don't have any instructional assistants in my classroom. We hired a new superintendent this year, and one of his focuses is literacty. We recieved literacy training during our welcome back week this summer.
Hi Ryan and welcome to the course. We are experiencing an extremely slow semester, so unfortunately, you won't be able to "chat" with other course participants at of yet. It is wonderful to hear of a superintendent who is pushing a literacy focus at the high school level! :)
