LINC Guests: Josh Barocas, Director of Early Literacy at LINC, where he works with his team to develop and deliver literacy workshops for parents and educators. As a college student, Josh developed an interest in neuroscience, psychology and linguistics and spent most of his time interning on various research projects across these fields. A job managing a language development laboratory revealed his passion for working with children, and he soon began teaching elementary school. Under the mentorship of a veteran learning specialist, Josh's interests coalesced into a career in early literacy. After several years teaching as a literacy specialist and completing a master's in literacy, Josh moved out of the school setting to work as Program Director at CUNY Reading Corps, where he trained college students, graduate students, teachers and Universal Literacy coaches in research-based reading interventions. He is grateful to bring his experience to the community setting in his work with LINC.
