About

           For almost thirty years,  I  taught English Language Arts, Creative, Practical Writing and Advanced Placement Language and Composition classes at Klein Forest High School  in Klein ISD, Houston, Texas. I also served as ELA Department Chair and Coordinator of Grants, Community Relations and Advanced Placement Programs. I  earned a Bachelor's Degree with majors in English, Art and Psychology at Southeast Missouri State and a Master's Degree in K-12 Literacy Education at University of Houston.
           When I completed THE WRITER'S VOICE: LESSONS IN COMPOSITION, I dedicated it to the student writers in my classroom whose "voices" made the lessons in our  book possible.  Proceeds from sales fund grants that improve writing instruction and internships in the Center for Writing Excellence at Southeast Missouri State University.   I am  especially proud that Klein Forest High School honored my commitment to students by  designating a Pre-AP/AP student study area in the library as the "Lynne Dozier Logic Lounge."
            Currently,  as a writing/education consultant with D&L Global Consulting, Inc. I work with intermediate and high schools to  develop and implement  instruction, curriculum and assessment strategies that improve  writing proficiency in students.
