Lorraine nurtures emerging teen journalists learning to read the world and navigate their media freedoms. She promotes the practice of critical literacy within a social justice curriculum and believes SRL is an invaluable opportunity for students to exercise the power of their literacy skills in the world beyond the classroom microcosm.
She frequently shares her work at local and national education conferences and curriculum committees. In 2012, she won the Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching.
