My Current Professional Journey in Education - A Conversation with Stephanie

Sawabona - A South African greeting that means, 'I see you. I respect and acknowledge you for who you are'. It was an absolute honour to have a conversation with Stephanie Stollar about her Chapter, My Current Professional Journey. Stephanie generously shares her Chapter with details about her role/s in Education, her professional journey, her experiences in elementary school, some pivotal life-changing moments that required her to be a competent reader, the COVID chapter, and her passions. As Stephanie and I engaged in an enriching conversation, a number of points deeply resonated with me. Some of these were: - "I looked like I had it all going on, but internally I was suffering", - "I feel joy in what I am currently doing", - "Reading is the gateway/keystone skill on which everything is placed upon", - 'Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can' - A beautiful quote by Arthur Ashe. Stephanie Stollar can be found on Facebook and Instagram (@readingscienceacademy). A huge thanks to Stephanie for taking the time to engage in this conversation and for everyone else that will listen/watch it. Please feel free to share this conversation with anyone that may connect. 😀
