Growth in Motion: Tarwo Konbloa

A core tenet for HMH is the belief that a supportive teacher paired with the right curriculum can transform even the hardest students to reach into avid learners. Tarwo Konbloa was one such student. When he arrived in Kentwood, Michigan from a Cote d'Ivoire refugee camp at age 11, he struggled in school. The soccer field was the only place he found solace. But when his teachers introduced him to the Read 180 intervention program, his academics improved. After an injury shattered his professional soccer dreams, he became a physical education teacher and coach, using his life experiences to mentor young athletes. “Read 180 opened a door for me,” says Konbloa. “The program helped me to challenge myself in reading, and I was able to apply the concepts I was learning to math, science, and other subjects.” This story was produced by HMH.
