As a Lead Staff Developer at the TCRWP, Alexandra Roman leads site-based staff development in schools across the country, helping hundreds of teachers build strong reading and writing workshops that support differentiated learners and ENLs. Alexandra is a member of an action research team that develops best practices for ENLs with a focus on raising student achievement. Prior to joining the TCRWP, Alexandra spent many years teaching in a dual language classroom in Brooklyn. Alexandra’s classroom served as an exemplar for second language learners and was highlighted as “Best Practices for ENLs," using reading and writing workshops. Alexandra continues to support ENLs through her work with administrators, literacy coaches, teachers, and kids in NYC, across the country, and internationally. When not in schools, Alexandra loves spending time with her children, Vialease, Jaiden, Aaliyah, and Josiah, supporting and nurturing their love for learning and professional dance.
