Meet our Academic Support Team

It is our pleasure to introduce the newest Division of Innovation and Education Excellence team—the Academic Support Team.  This dynamic group of individuals are excited to assist districts by providing support for improving reading instruction and achievement all across Alaska. 

We have several members on our team to support academics, and will soon be adding more reading specialists. Please do not hesitate to reach out for information and assistance regarding all things reading in Alaska: reading resources/materials, reading professional development, or other reading-related needs.  E-mail with any specific content questions by clicking on the specialists name below.  They will be happy to assist or direct you to where you can receive the assistance that you need. 

Let's work together to assure all students have the foundation and skills they need to increase reading achievement across Alaska!
