Scott M. Voss

2009 Leadership Fellow
Minnesota

Career Field: Education
Secondary Field: Elementary and Secondary
Fellowship Plan: To pursue a Ph.D. in reading research at the University of Minnesota with an emphasis on adolescent engagement.
Long-Term Goal: To advocate change in schools for historically disengaged students.

As a reading specialist at Apple Valley High School, Voss works passionately to engage his students in learning to love reading. He has created new strategies and partnerships with other teachers across his school that have allowed many formerly disengaged students to advance one year’s reading growth in just 13 weeks. In order to continue to develop strategies that reach students who do not read well, Voss will pursue a Ph.D. in reading research at the University of Minnesota.
