NO MORE JUST WANTING A MASTERS TALK FOR ME

I am being very honest when I say that in the beginning of this program there were times when I felt that I could not really care how the program was going and all I wanted was my degree. I even told myself that if they didn’t hire me as a Reading specialist “at least I had my Masters.” But you know what this phase did not last long as the reality of the crisis situation that we are facing as a nation with regards to reading hit home.
As long as there are students in our Primary schools who are just moved up to the next class and can’t read the first primer level, then our role as Reading Specialists is critical. And as long as there are students entering our Secondary schools and leaving them with no subjects or worse yet dropping out of our school system because they are labelled non-readers or struggling readers and there were no one to help them, then Reading Specialists are needed.
So no more just wanting a Masters talk for me. I intend to take this role seriously I am doing extra reading on my own because people all I can say is this “We have not even touched the tip of the iceberg as yet!”
