Welcome back to RBBB 101! 📙🌼 This week we're sharing our final lesson of Module 2: The Changemaker Continuum in Action!

In our last lesson, we learned how Read Better Be Better's continuum of programs supports K-12 students throughout their educational journeys and beyond. What do we mean by "beyond," you ask? Meet Amelia, an alum of our high school Pathway to Education Professions program. She is now an Art Education major at ASU!

Our Pathway to Education Professions program prepares students for careers in education through hands-on classroom experience. Pursuing careers as educators is one of the ways that Read Better Be Better almuni engage after their K-12 years in making Arizona's education system better for all students! Happy (future) Educator Appreciation Week, Amelia! 🩵🎉

Follow along every week for all things RBBB!
