Workshop Presenter Rachel Davis

Rachel teaches 2nd-3rd grade language arts and nearly everything else for 4th-5th grade at Van Duzen Elementary in the tiny town of Mad River. As a recent addition to the Redwood Writing Project, (Summer 2008) she is exploring every opportunity that RWP offers. The summer Advanced Technology Institute was the latest such opportunity.
