  abstract: 'This abstract summarizes the targeted phonics intervention designed for a 6th-grade ELA classroom. As a first-year educator balancing classroom leadership with the completion of a bachelor’s degree in education, I developed this project to address specific literacy gaps through data-driven instruction. The project evaluates the importance of phonics knowledge and the efficacy of targeted interventions for a specific participant identified through a core phonics screener. By analyzing initial assessment data, a research question was established to guide the development of a specific pretest and subsequent instructional cycle. The intervention utilized specialized instructional materials and focused lessons tailored to the student’s unique learning needs. Results were measured by comparing pretest and post-intervention data, specifically looking at individual growth rather than generalized student outcomes. This systematic approach underscores the value of diagnostic-prescriptive teaching in specialized settings and provides a framework for future literacy instruction and data-informed reflections.'

  student_bio: 'I am a Panama City native and a Senior at Florida State University pursuing a degree in Elementary Education. Currently, I am gaining invaluable experience teaching at Jinks Middle School, where I work within a self-contained Exceptional Student Education (ESE) classroom. My daily work focuses on supporting students in an ASD cluster, a role that has deeply reinforced my commitment to inclusive and highly structured learning environments. Driven by a passion for relationship-based teaching and multi-sensory instruction, my career goal is to continue specializing in the ESE field. I am dedicated to implementing evidence-based strategies that empower students with diverse learning needs to thrive both academically and socially. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy creative pursuits like painting and sewing, which often inspire the hands-on approach I bring to my instructional design.'
