Lesley Snyder Joins SC Milken Educators

 

English teacher Lesley Snyder regroups during a quiet moment after her surprise Milken Educator Award assembly. Lesley incorporates project-based learning into her eighth grade classroom, with semester-long “passion projects” and units where students use cross-curricular learning standards to create and code video games. Thanks to her strategies for teaching text-dependent analysis, students leave her class as strong, confident readers and writers—one student even published a book inspired by a classroom project.
