🌟 Wednesday with Virtual English Language Educator: Laura Briggs 🌟

Laura Clark Briggs is an educator and literacy researcher with 25+ years of experience working with both K–12 and adult learners. Based in Nashville, she teaches high school English and supports adult English learners. Her research focuses on how learners from non–Roman-alphabet backgrounds develop reading skills in English, and she also reviews national assessments for fairness and bias.

Using a Universal Design for Learning approach, Laura offers multiple pathways for expression—retelling scenes from new viewpoints, modernizing legends, or blending folklore into original work—so each participant can connect with the material in a way that feels authentic, creative, and enjoyable.
