| Marion Rogers has a 36-year career as a reading specialist, educational consultant and teacher trainer. She has been running her own company for the past 14 years, specializing in teaching study skills and providing test preparation to middle- and high-school students. Prior to that, Rogers was a reading specialist for the St. Croix, Virgin Islands Department of Education, where she designed and implemented staff development for classroom teachers transitioning to newly adopted language arts textbooks. She also developed and conducted workshops demonstrating creative teaching approaches to motivate elementary and middle-school students. As a consultant for the English Department of the University of the Virgin Islands, Rogers researched, organized and evaluated the effectiveness of the existing study skills materials of that university’s skill lab. Noting a critical need for culturally relevant books for Caribbean young adults, Rogers co-founded CRIC Productions, Inc., a not-for-profit publishing company for which she sought and was awarded funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Rogers started her career in education-teaching reading and language arts in elementary and middle-school classrooms in Buffalo and Syracuse, New York, and St. Croix.
