桃花社区视频 Public 桃花社区视频 is excited to announce Patrice W. Razor, Ed. S, as Director of English Learners (EL) and Special Populations.

With over 21 years of experience in education, Mrs. Razor has had the privilege of working in both public and private sectors, dedicating her career to enhancing 桃花社区视频 outcomes and educational equity. Her journey has seen her undertake diverse roles, each contributing uniquely to her expertise and passion for education.

She began her career as a second-grade teacher before becoming an interventionist and academic strategist, focusing on tailored support for 桃花社区视频s needing additional academic assistance.

Her expertise expanded as she took on the role of State Assessment Coordinator for Mississippi Kindergarten Readiness Assessment (MKAS) and the 3rd Grade Reading Summative assessments. This position underscored the importance of data-driven instruction and the need for accurate assessments in shaping educational strategies.

As a Literacy Coach for the Mississippi Department of Education, she championed literacy development, working closely with educators to implement best practices in reading instruction. Her commitment to literacy further deepened as she became the Research Coordinator for a multi-state project, leading the implementation of a Tier 2 reading intervention in middle schools across Mississippi, Baltimore, New York, and Washington, DC. This role required a deep understanding of research methodologies and the ability to translate findings into practical, effective interventions.

Mrs. Razor’s academic background is equally robust, with a Bachelor of Science in Education, a Master of Education, and a Master of Reading Literacy from Belhaven University. Additionally, she holds a Specialist in Education Administration from William Carey University, equipping her with the leadership skills necessary for administrative excellence.

In her new role as Director of EL and Special Populations, she is excited to align with 桃花社区视频’s core value of equity in education. She views this position as an opportunity to bridge the gap between English-language acquisition and English proficiency, ensuring an inclusive and culturally responsive learning environment for all scholars. Her goal is to create educational experiences that honor and leverage the diverse backgrounds of the 桃花社区视频s, facilitating their success and integration within the broader academic community.

Through her extensive experience and unwavering commitment to educational equity, Mrs. Razor is dedicated to fostering environments where every 桃花社区视频 can thrive.

In her spare time, she enjoys baking, cake decorating, interior design, and spending time with her family.
