Today we are continuing our 'Meet the Coaches' series by highlighting Carmen!
Carmen Rodriguez holds an M.F.A. in fiction from the University of North Carolina Wilmington and a B.A. in English from Florida State University, graduating from both institutions with honors. She has dabbled in several literary-careers: employed as a publicist for a historic, nationally-acclaimed theater; a reader for a successful New York literary agency; and a journalist. Teaching, however, has proven to be one of her greatest loves.
Her journey in education has taken her into the classrooms of New Jersey, Florida, North Carolina, and, most recently, Virginia. She believes that each student’s academic journey is unique. To this end, her process-based approach, supported by the foundational development of executive function skills, encourages students to drive their learning experiences through the exploration of their own curiosities within each subject matter.
Beyond teaching, she is the author of two young adult novels—34 Pieces of You and Not Anything. Her third young-adult novel, Carry You With Me, is forthcoming from Simon & Schuster in 2017.
