Mer om författaren

Janet Allen (EdD, University of Maine) spends her time researching, writing, and consulting with schools and teachers who are changing their literacy practices. An award-winning teacher, she taught high school English and reading for twenty years in rural Maine, eventually leaving her classroom to teach English education courses as an associate professor at the University of Central Florida. Janet helped create the Orange County Literacy Project, directed the Central Florida Writing Project, and currently works with districts implementing large-scale literacy initiatives. Her first book, It's Never Too Late: Leading Adolescents to Lifelong Literacy, was published in 1995. Stenhouse published There's Room for Me Here: Literacy Workshop in the Middle School, co-authored with Kyle Gonzalez (1998), and Words, Words, Words: Teaching Vocabulary in Grades 4–12 (1999).
