Grace Chough is a Lead Staff Developer at TCRWP. In her work at the Project, she supports teachers, coaches, and administrators throughout New York City, across the U.S., and in Shanghai, China. Grace works closely with schools to create lasting structures that promote a culture of learning that leads to best practices in literacy. In this endeavor she draws on her MEd from Teachers College in the English Education Department, and her work as an instructor at Teachers College, working with Lucy as a teaching assistant in a writing instruction course and teaching seminars for student teachers. Grace has led a teacher leadership group focusing on literature and qualities of good writing and presented at institutes in New York and around the country on teaching reading and writing. She is most inspired when she is in the midst of children, teachers, coaches, and principals, making meaning out of their reading, writing and teaching lives.
