It has been a privilege to be a part of the Xtreme Reading
Cadre, which has provided the opportunity to work with other SIM professional
developers who are passionate about Xtreme Reading. The ability to pool the members’ knowledge and background
experiences has resulted in the refinement of existing tools and the
development of additional resources which will be instrumental in accelerating
the spread of Xtreme Reading as well as strengthening the levels of fidelity of
implementation in the field. As a
cadre member, my specific duties included chairing the subcommittee in charge
of developing and organizing resources for SIM Professional
Developers.
These items and materials can now be found on XtremeVille, which became
an official part of SIMville in 2020.

I also was a member of the Teacher Resource subcommittee
that worked on the development of a website for Xtreme Reading teachers, which
was completed and went live during the 2020-2021 school year. Now, supplemental resources and
materials are easily accessible to both SIM Professional Developers and to
Xtreme Reading teachers.
