“ As an adult that struggles with dyslexia, my work with Susan has changed my life. Her dedication and passion is evident as she worked to help me realize my potential. She will work hard for all kids so they can succeed academically and personally.”
“ I met Susan when I was tutoring a student recently diagnosed with dyslexia who had not had a lot of formal reading instruction. Susan invited me over to her home, showed me how she conducts her sessions, and offered me materials from her own personal library to help me and my student get started! Throughout my first year in AAPS Susan checked in every once in a while to see how the year was going, and made me aware of the LETRS training grant! It is clear that Susan cares deeply about fellow educators and will work hard to empower them to be effective at their work. Whether it’s connecting them to high quality training, advocating for resources they need, or mentoring teachers just entering the field, it is clear Susan is passionate about connecting educators to the best resources and tools to help all students succeed."
“Susan is a strong and effective advocate for all children so that they have the skills they need to succeed. Her ability to bring people together, coupled with her expertise in the field of education, especially literacy, will benefit not only the Ann Arbor School Board but also the children attending the Ann Arbor schools.”
Dr. David Winters, Professor and Department Head in the College of Education, Eastern Michigan University
"Susan’s abilities to identify problems and work with others to find solutions is much needed on the Ann Arbor school board. Her energy and commitment to listen to stakeholders and fully engage with school board business will result in positive outcomes for all of our district’s children."
