Dr. Annette Letcher, B.A., M.S., Ed.D.

Welcome to Cypress College!

I am a full-time faculty member in the English/Reading department at Cypress College. I have been teaching English/Reading in the community college system for six years. I am delighted to be a part of Cypress College and look forward to contributing to your academic success here at Cypress.

It is my desire to create a learning environment where students are actively engaged in meaning making so they can comprehend, apply, and communicate academic subject matter.

I encourage students to view reading in the broader context of diversity, social, political, and cultural issues. It is my hope that the knowledge, skills, and experiential learning acquired in my classes will give students of diverse learning styles and backgrounds the foundational skills needed as they advance toward degree completion.
