Natalie Spalloni selected to represent Regions 15, 18 and 19 as a regional representative on the Coalition of Reading and English Supervisors of Texas
Canutillo Independent School District English Language Arts Curriculum & Instruction Coordinator, Natalie Spalloni was recently selected to represent Regions 15, 18 and 19 as a regional representative on the Coalition of Reading and English Supervisors of Texas (CREST).
The purpose of CREST is to promote improvement in the teaching of all phases of the language arts at all levels of instruction; act as a clearing house in circulating information of value and in keeping members posted as to the latest educational movements and findings; stimulate professional development; encourage open discussion about the teaching of language arts; bring inspirational leaders in the fields of education and communication before the group; and cooperate with other educational groups related to the teaching of language arts.
“Representing the west region of Texas for the Coalition of Reading and English Supervisors of Texas is significant because CREST collaborates with both the National Council of Teachers of English and the Texas Council of Teachers of English Language Arts. The synergy between these collective educators helps produce a combined effect greater than if we worked separately to improve our language arts practices,” Spalloni said.
“This representation benefits our Canutillo community by exposing educators to cutting-edge research and strategies which in turn are provided to students. Most importantly, good stewards are team players, embrace innovation and change, and commit to service which is something we aspire to model in Canutillo by getting involved.”
