Nicole Jenny, a resource teacher at Kanawha City Elementary School, is one of 50 Kanawha County teachers selected for a free master’s degree program in Literacy Education with a Reading Specialist certification from West Virginia University. Jenny, who has observed worsening literacy outcomes since the COVID pandemic, believes the program will enhance her teaching effectiveness and benefit her students, particularly in addressing reading challenges. The program, fully funded by Kanawha County Schools, will alleviate financial burdens for Jenny, a single mother. The online classes start next month and are expected to be completed by May 2026.
