The Literacy Impact ArchitectTM
Shernita D. Rodgers is an award-winning educator with over 15 years of experience building relationships with students and families. She is a creative and dynamic strategist with proven expertise in fostering innovation, educational equity, and a culture of success. Nationally known organizations consistently engage for project optimization!
Scoring the highest in the nation on the Principal EPI for Understanding Teaching and Learning has fueled her desire to help children unlock their potential and embrace a love for learning. It has also positioned her to help organizations strategize for maximum impact.
Since second grade, she knew she was going to be a teacher. She never imagined that journey would lead to connecting with nationally recognized partners, but one belief has remained constant: impacting even one child matters.
Today, she brings that same purpose to learning, growing and serving WITH others.
