Joanne Telesco is beginning her 15th year as a middle school Media Specialist, currently oversees the one-school, one-book reading program, and serves as Arts Integration Coordinator at a public charter school in FL.

I believe the best learning happens when students are engaged, inquisitive, an immersed in the content--without realizing they are learning. Authentic learning, combining content areas with student interests and the arts creates wonderful opportunities for students to learn and better retain new content. I am particularly passionate about bringing books alive for students, letting them explore the world inside the pages, wherever that may lead!
