Amy+Strecker

Amy joined KidThrive.org + OneSeventeen Media directly following her Teach For America service as a high school English teacher in rural North Carolina. During her second year teaching in one of the nation’s lowest performing high schools, Amy lead the only class in her school where 100% of her students passed North Carolina’s standardized End-of-Course Exam, and she was named the county’s Outstanding Young Educator in 2006. From her classroom experience, Amy has unique insight into teen minds, and she is intrigued by innovative methods of facilitating relationships between kids, parents and mentors.
