This episode makes OTLP history as we feature for the very first time a CLR librarian. Let's give some love to the librarian, a key support of CLR because, typically these folks see ALL the students and are obvious supporters of literacy as well as supporters of other schoolwide initiatives. We set this two part series off with Paizley Spencer, an original educator (in education for 25 years or more). She is a teacher-librarian in the Alameda schools in the Bay area, but her fascinating and intriguing journey began long ago in the south. You will say wow multiple times. Paizley is a sage who brings a strong advocacy for the underserved. Her journey is a true testament of validation and affirmation. You will be inspired. Don't forget about Dr. Hollie's two cents.
