Tara Griffith, Ed.S.

From the young guy with big dreams, to the amazing man you are today, you’ve always made an impact on others. 🥳 Happy Birthday @CoachGriffith

Have you ever read something that completely changed the way you teach? 🤯 For me, it was Placing Text at the Center of the Standards-Aligned ELA Classroom. I shared it with EVERYONE. 🙌 You can read it here: ow.ly/Hktl50X2RXR 🎙️ Listen here: ow.ly/3ITN50X2RXS

Happy Anniversary @CoachGriffith - 21 years of love, laughter, and doing life with you. ❤️💍

Ky Reads to Succeed Conference if off and running! We’ve had a great day so far with a keynote from Dr. Anita Archer and our first sessions wrapping up. #KyReadstoSucceed

It's the Eastern Kentucky Colonels on this fine Sunday afternoon! I've been to Richmond, Kentucky and I am hoping to get back there one day! Thank you Coach Wells and @EKUFootball for sending this package over, let's go COLONELS!

KDE employees came together this week to support a colleague within the Office of Teaching and Learning, Assistant Director Ashley Hill, who lost her son Eli in 2023. After the Team KDE meeting, employees celebrated Eli by eating his favorite food, popcorn. #PopcornForEli

JCPS welcomed the Division of Early Literacy with open arms and allowed us to learn and calibrate as a team while observing their HQIR implementation. It always makes for a great day when we get to be around happy and engaged students. #kyreadstosucceed

Thank you @KyReadingAssoc for the invitation to present at this year’s conference. I know our messages reached those who were open to listen and learn. And just like the starfish story, we CAN make a difference. #KyReadstoSucceed #DELleaderhsipteam #ImproveLiteracyOutcomes

The early literacy leadership team presented seven different sessions at the KRA conference in Lexington today. I admire and am in awe with this team’s passion about changing literacy in KY. Also inspired by the educators we were able to speak to today! #kyreadtosucceed

Start your morning with @AlisonMGregory1 and myself in Room 13 at #KYCIS24 📚

20 years ago today, 6.19.04, I married the man of my dreams. I am so blessed to have a husband who loves me, supports me, encourages me, challenges me, spoils me, and shares the same goals and dreams as I do! I love you big @CoachGriffith! Here's to many more! 💗

Happy 20th anniversary to this beautiful babe! May the adventures continue! Love you! @GriffithT
