Attah Named Scholastic's Innovator of the Month

Second Grade Homeroom Teacher Jane Attah was selected as Scholastic’s Innovator of the Month in October 2023.

Scholastic—a leading provider of literacy curriculum, books, and media for children—created its Innovation Lab to invite co-design in educational technology, engaging diverse teams of educators from around the country as equal collaborators in building inclusive educational solutions.

Attah, who joined the lab this past summer, has been connecting with educators throughout the U.S. and is currently mentoring a second-grade teacher at a Title One school in Olivehurst, CA.

“We are collaborating on all things second grade,” says Attah. “I particularly look forward to discussing how [she] incorporates STEM into her daily instruction and how she plans to use a grant she was given to make STEM a school-wide initiative.”
