Greetings, I am Dr. Monique Johnson, a literacy enthusiast. I was born and raised in Houston, Texas and educated in the Houston Independent School District. My passion for education afforded me the opportunities to graduate from Howard University, Commonwealth Institute of Funeral Services, University of Phoenix, and Walden University. I have been a wife for nearly 30 years, and we have three amazing adult children. I have been an educator for 20 plus years and have worked in several public-school districts and private schools. I have a passion for Middle school; however, I have worked in Elementary, High School and Secondary (College). I have served as a teacher, instructional coach, curriculum manager, professor, and education consultant. My motto is all students can learn regardless of their circumstances.

MISSION
|
Simplifying reading and writing instruction for teachers and students is one of Malene’s passions. She is convinced that it is essential to create informational learning opportunities that are purposeful, engaging, and fun to ensure transfer to classroom application. “No one gets up in front of a classroom of students intending to do a bad job. Every teacher wants students to be successful. As long as they’re willing, I can help them make it happen.” Malene Golding, M.Ed
