Echo Lake teacher invited to speak to state Education Committee

Mrs. Ranice Innocent, speaking to the
WA State House Education Committee

Echo Lake Title/LAP Teacher Mrs. Ranice Innocent was recently invited by the Washington Education Association to speak at the WA State House of Representatives Education Committee meeting.

Mrs. Innocent was invited to participate in the presentation about best practices for teaching reading and the implementation of these practices in teacher preparation programs. 

She has earned National Board Certification and holds a Master's degree.

Due to Mrs. Innocent's depth of understanding of this topic and passion for access afforded by literacy, she participates in developing teacher evaluations and literacy standards across the state.

Her expertise and experience are immensely valuable to our Shoreline Schools students, particularly as we work toward our strategic plan pillar of "All Students Literate" and our goal of 85% of Shoreline 5th and 8th graders reading at grade level by spring 2029.
