  Wendy D. Crader

  Assistant Professor of Developmental Reading
  Northeast Lakeview College
  One of the Alamo Colleges
  MyReadingLab

  I am a native Texan and I have been living in the San Antonio area since I was a young child. My mother is a retired Computer Lab Specialist and volunteered for most of my primary years at the Children's State Hospital in San Antonio. She has such a passion for children; this influence played a large impact on my desire to become public school teacher. I attended both public and private schooling in San Antonio before pursuing higher education at the University of Texas at San Antonio. I majored in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in Early Childhood, and continued with my Graduation degree in Educational Leadership. I was hired during my last semester of graduate school as a fifth grade teacher in the San Antonio Independent School District. My expertise was in curriculum development and literacy intervention programs. I served as a lead classroom teacher and staff development leader to facilitate training and realigned of curriculum to support state standards. In addition, I assisted teachers in the selection, administration, and analysis of benchmarks assessments in all levels of instruction K-5.

  After ten years in primary education, I chose to return to the University of Texas at San Antonio again to pursue a second Master's Degree in Education with a focus on Curriculum and Instruction. While completing my graduate coursework, I began adjuncting for the Alamo Community Colleges, St. Philip's College and Northeast Lakeview College, eventually obtaining my current full-time position as Assistant Professor of Reading at Northeast Lakeview College. In this capacity, I frequently present on topics ranging from contextualized learning, accelerated learning, and curriculum development at NISOD and CASP Conferences. I also chair a system-wide Developmental Strategy Committee, as well as participate in numerous committees with a specific focus on Developmental Education. I continue to advance my teaching and learning through professional development by engaging in workshops and conferences that focus on Developmental Education such as local conferences sponsored by universities, community colleges, and state conferences.

  In addition to my professional interests, a few of my personal interests includes scuba diving and fishing. I also have two children who work in the medical profession.

  Curtis Harrell

  Coordinator, Academic Skills Reading and Writing
  Northwest Arkansas Community College
  MyCompLab, MyReadingLab, MySkillsLab, MyWritingLab

  I have been involved with using online supplements in the classroom since the mid-nineties when I developed a website for my classes by hand-coding HTML in SimpleText on my Mac Performa 475. Four megabytes of memory cost $200 down at the local Sears. I have been very glad to see textbook publishers take up the challenge of providing robust online environments for students since then, especially the MyLabs.

  Today I coordinate the developmental reading and writing courses at my college and support the faculty here who use the online supplements as real-time diagnostics to customize the instruction in their classrooms. I work hard to keep current with trends, seeking to combine the instruction of reading and writing, and I share my work at both state and national conferences.

  I received a BFA in Creative Writing from Arkansas Tech University and an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Arkansas, and, in my free time, I enjoy playing and building banjos and riding my antique Harley. In the summers I am a guide at War Eagle Cavern, the coolest job a person can have in Arkansas in June and July.

  Jennifer Howell

  Adjunct Faculty
  Triton College, IL

  Since 2009 I have been teaching Developmental Reading at Triton College. I have also taught Middle School Language Arts. I also have experience with Curriculum Development and tutoring. I have an M.A. in Reading and an M.A. in Secondary Education from Grand Canyon University. I have been using MyReadingLab since 2009 and it has not only helped my students tremendously but has enhanced my overall teaching experience.

  MyReadingLab has been a much needed assistant for me in my classes. Since many of my students have special needs, it aids in giving the student the extra help and push that I am not able to give. I also feel that many students like that the lab is interactive and allows them to work at their own pace. Lastly, MyReadingLab allows students to work at their own individual skill level.

  Leah Lidbury

  Senior Lecturer
  University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, WI
  MyReadingLab

  As instructor of College Reading Strategies and Developmental Reading, my prevailing instructional objective is to connect students with the skills and techniques that will foster their proficiency as academic readers. Cultivating students' confidence in themselves as readers, using subjective and objective measures to track difficulties and progress, and promoting students' self-advocacy are pivotal techniques in my classes.

  I also assist students in non-credit capacities: helping them to prepare for the Praxis series and GRE tests, as well as providing presentations regarding study strategies for the sophisticated level of learning required for college success. Partnerships with faculty in Nursing, Kinesiology, and Geography have allowed me to implement applicative teaching models to help students understand new techniques.

  MyReadingLab gives my students authentic academic materials on which to practice the strategies and techniques they are learning. The lab environment also offers the instructor the opportunity to work individually with students and model the new reading behaviors being learned. Another byproduct of MyReadingLab is the discrete knowledge and vocabulary building that goes on with reading excerpts from academic and research materials. The labs also encourage problem solving and critical thinking.

  I have a BA in General Studies—Biology, Psychology, and Chemistry/Math split—from the University of Arizona; a post-baccalaureate in secondary education from the University of Arizona; and, a MA—Public Relations in Community College Education with a Photojournalism emphasis—from Northern Arizona University.

  I have taught for over 20 years with 10 of them being at the community college level. I have been a full-time developmental reading instructor at Arizona Western College for a little over five years; and, I can say that I honestly LOVE my job! Recently, I was asked why I teach, "I was one of my students—one who thought she knew how to read, but really didn't have the comprehension strategies necessary to succeed in university courses. I don't want my students to be as I was; I want them to succeed and achieve their dreams and goals and have a leg-up. That is why I exist—I am a ladder rung for them to step on, use, learn from, and attain their goals by climbing onto my shoulders to the next instructor who will take them up a rung or two higher."

  My husband, Rick, and I have been married for 21 years; I have a son, Zane (14); three unofficial adopted Polynesian sons; and, a menagerie of animals including the "love of my life"—my Arabian Horse, Sunny.
