What to Expect
A Thoughtful Approach
With Lumen Literacy, clients can expect personalized lessons so the learner can more meaningfully participate in the lesson and contribute their own background knowledge and experiences.
When lessons are thoughtfully prepared, teachers and students cultivate deeper trust in each other, and find more meaning and success in the learning process.
Experienced Support
Teaching since 2002, Maura has worked in a multitude of educational environments: public and private, affluent and disadvantaged, both in the US and overseas.
It is through those experiences that Maura came to appreciate the importance of meeting each student where they are at and using all information available to ensure the best result.
Collaborative Framework
Student growth requires information about a student's learning history, but also a team of supporters. Working with teachers, other specialists, and parents is an essential part of the puzzle when Lumen Literacy develops a plan for a positive outcome.
Successful students have a series of people to rely on throughout their day and week, and that means collaboration is necessary.
