Prior to that, she worked at the Baldwinsville School District as a middle school reading specialist. While in Baldwinsville Jolene was awarded a teacher as researcher grant from the International Reading Association for her project titled: “Effective Ingredients for Academic Intervention,” a program she developed to provide intensive push-in and pull-out services for struggling adolescent literacy learners.
