By Sharon Vaughn and Nathan Clemens

The Reading League Journal 
Fall 2024

Nathan Clemens Bio
Professor and Department Chair, Department of Special Education
NATHAN CLEMENS, Ph.D. Professor and Department Chair of Special Education at the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Clemens’ research and teaching focuses on improving instruction and intervention for students with reading difficulties or dyslexia in preschool through adolescence. More specifically, his work is aimed at improving teachers’ use of assessment data to better understand their students’ progress, and to help them align and individualize evidence-based interventions with their students’ unique learning needs in order to promote stronger outcomes. Dr. Clemens is also interested in research that seeks to better understand interventions and key practices that are effective for students with the most intensive learning difficulties. He earned a Ph.D. in school psychology from Lehigh University.

“Does the science of reading include middle school?” – 

Tim Shanahan

January 6, 2024

Dawn De Lorenzo Bio:

I am dual-certified general and special education teacher with 24 years experience. I have taught students from PreK through Grade 8. The majority of the students that I have served throughout my career had language-based learning disabilities such as dyslexia. I am a CERI Certified Structured Language Teacher. I have my MA in Curriculum and Instruction and my Ed.S. in Education Leadership, Policy and Management. 

Last year, I was a Teacher Leader Policy Fellow with JerseyCAN and worked to champion several policies to strengthen literacy in New Jersey. JerseyCAN awarded me with an Excellence in Advocacy Award for my work.  I was second place in Nessy's 2024 Teacher of the Year Dyslexia Awareness Award.

This year I started my own tutoring business, Lighthouse Literacy Solutions, where I can serve students and their families' needs without all of the red tape that entangles educators in public schools today.
