Hello and Welcome to Read 180.
My name is Tamarra Duffy (Tam, Tammy or Duff is fine, too). I am excited to continue teaching the Read 180 at Benjamin Jepson this year.
I have been teaching for many years in New Haven, Meriden, North Haven and last year I returned to New Haven to continue my reading specialist career.
Much of my teaching career has been as a 6th grade Language Arts teacher, but I have also taught Social Studies, Math, Science and Adult Education. After completing my 6th year in Reading/Consulting, I moved into a reading specialist position teaching K – 8th grade for the past 11 years. I am proud to share that I have had approximately 1500 students pass through my classroom doors. Many of whom I have stayed in touch with, and they are thriving in their lives with families of their own.
I completely believe in the Read 180 program. It is very comprehensive and interesting. If you have me, you will learn a lot and gain more confidence in yourself as a mature learner. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
