Rachel Davis

Rachel taught 2nd-3rd grade language arts and nearly everything else for 4th-5th grade at Van Duzen Elementary in the tiny town of Mad River. As a recent addition to the Redwood Writing Project, (Summer 2008) she is exploring every opportunity that RWP offers. The summer Advanced Technology Institute in 2009 was the latest such opportunity. This summer, 2010, Rachel is enjoying her role as a mentor teacher consultant in the Redwood Writing Project's summer institute with Stefanie Watson and Mary Ann Loch.
