The Elementary and Middle School Student-Friendly Handbook to Navigating Success: You Need to Take Charge of Your Education!

Todd J. Feltman is passionate about engaging and supporting students in reading and writing and, to that end, has served in New York City public and independent schools for the last seventeen years as a classroom teacher, new-teacher mentor, literacy coach, journalism/writing teacher, and a citywide elementary and middle school literacy achievement coach. Feltman explains that students must know how to take charge of their education to be successful in school and in life.

Feltman holds a doctorate in urban education from the Graduate Center at the City University of New York, as well as three master's degrees in childhood education, literacy education, and school supervision/administration. His dissertation examined the gender achievement gap in reading and writing of fourth and fifth grade boys versus girls and also offered practical solutions.
