EDUCATOR
Helene’s passion for teaching inspires her students’ willingness to learn and experience new ideas. Teaching in alternative schools in Eugene, Oregon and Bridgehampton, New York and in public schools in Sag Harbor, East Hampton, and Montauk, New York, she has shared her humanity with each of her students. As the director and founder of The Pioneer School in the late 1990s, she became known as a reading whisperer, often taking a student 3-to-5 reading levels in one year. Her explicit, sequential, structured, multi-sensory, language-based reading program works.
“All my students learn to read and write and discover that books are friends. How awesome is that? Many of us take these skills for granted, but to be able to read and write represents freedom to live a life with dignity and respect.”
