Tess Aylor is a top-notch educator. She consistently goes above and beyond to assist teachers: modeling/coaching best practices, sharing resources and leading professional learning community meetings and professional development. With no reading specialist at Chalkley, Tess stepped into that role and has built relationships with staff, worked tirelessly to ensure full implementation of Open Court Reading and be our reading specialist, without skipping a beat. You can come to her for anything, and she will make a way to provide the answer. She loves our students and always goes the extra mile to provide exceptional instruction.
