Finishing off Lovebird February is Elizabeth Brown, but do you know which 2001er she’s lovebirds with? Listen to find out.
You should also listen because Elizabeth proved to be one of RWS’s most articulate and insightful guests. In this episode, you’ll learn about her outdoorsy first summer after high school before joining Ian and Zack pursuing and then excelling in the field of public education. Elizabeth offers incredible insights into being a reading instructor, particularly in an era of evolving technology offering both opportunities and distractions, the latter of which, as you’ll hear, gets under Jim’s skin. Once you hear Elizabeth’s approach to teaching reading, you’ll wish she was in every school in America.
Because she likes musicals, Elizabeth (and listeners) also has to steel herself against Ian’s unique trivia, where each of our co-hosts hums famous musical numbers to see if Elizabeth can guess where they came from. It wasn’t pretty. Finally, Elizabeth recounts her time at the Norwich Free Academy, including how a certain 10th grade English teacher saw something special in her, marking a turning point in her life as a student. Who could it be? Oh, and Ian asks about horses on highways.
Her name is Elizabeth Brown, and she’s a member of the NFA Class of 2001.
