As a participant in the inaugural LETRS cohort, Mrs. Hodges quickly mastered the coursework, making an immediate impact on her students in the Copper River School District. Her dedication to professional development led her to enroll in the Alaska Reading Endorsement Program and LETRS Certified Facilitators program where she further honed her expertise in reading instruction.
