1. How Literacy Transforms Lives with Kristen Horn

For our first episode, we have a special guest lineup. We are joined by the CEO and founder of Outline It, Sydney Montgomery, and Kristen Horn, an extraordinary English teacher who found her calling through an unconventional pathway – the prison system.

Together, Sydney and Kristen discuss their shared mission of empowering students, including those with neurodiverse learning styles. Kristen also shares her inclusive teaching practices, highlighting the importance of individualized approaches and creating a supportive classroom environment. We delve into the concept of breaking down writing into manageable steps, creating a safe space for students to express themselves, and empowering them to overcome the fear of the blank page. Listen in as we offer valuable insights into bridging the gap in education and ensuring that every student has the tools and support they need to succeed.
