Synopsis

In REAL LOVE: Strategies for Reaching Students Who See No Way Out, Alexes uses her personal stories and professional experiences to empower and equip educators with strategies that can be implemented, immediately, to support students with diverse needs. Rooted in the theories of Culturally Responsive and Reality pedagogy, Alexes challenges educators to reconsider outdated and inequitable educational practices and pushes them to create learning environments, experiences, and opportunities that will meet the social, emotional, cultural, and academic needs of all students. To Alexes, REAL LOVE is not a mere acronym. Instead, it is her call to action for all educators to take a new approach to the way teaching and learning happens in our schools and classrooms. She believes that a radical transformation to our pedagogical practices will result in the elimination of educational achievement and opportunity gaps and an increase in the college and career readiness and completion rate of some of our most vulnerable student populations

About the Author

Alexes M. Terry is the founder and lead Instructional Success Consultant with TwistED Teaching Educational Consulting Company. A professional educator with 10 years of experience teaching, coaching, mentoring, and leading educators, Alexes realized that there was a severe deficit in Education when it came to quality mentorship programs and instructional support for classroom educators who work with students in urban schools and communities. A graduate of Texas A&M University, where she received a Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction, with an emphasis in Urban Education, Alexes decided that it was time to stop talking about transforming teaching and learning in urban schools and begin doing her part by partnering with teachers and schools to increase teacher effectiveness. Through workshops, professional developments and, most importantly, teacher mentoring, Alexes uses the theories of Culturally ResponsiveTeaching, Reality Pedagogy, and Data Driven Instruction to support educators in their journey to transform urban education. Her teaching style is based on years of researching pedagogical approaches, strategies and best practices most effective to meeting the needs of a diverse student population. Alexes M. Terry believes that coaching teachers to success is more than just a profession or a passion, it is her ministry. Through TwistED Teaching, her overall goal is changing the lives of students by empowering teachers and "twisting" the way teaching and learning happens in urban schools.
