What People Say
“
We had the best reading results in the history of our schools because of the Lifelong Readers curriculum, professional development, and ongoing support.
Working with Emily has been one of the best professional development experiences in my career. Emily has designed and executed customized trainings for school leader fellows. Emily simply knows more about elementary instruction and content than anyone I've ever worked with.
Emily’s expertise and guidance has been the single most important factor in our ability to build students’ reading skill and love of reading. Through the Lifelong Readers curriculum and ongoing support, student gains in reading have improved dramatically.
As a direct result of the Lifelong Readers Curriculum and ongoing support, our students grew 35 percentage points on the MAP assessment, putting us in the top quartile of all schools in the U.S. and in the 94th percentile for growth performance. Implementing the curriculum gave our teachers so much confidence in their ability to teach literacy effectively.
Working with Emily has been the single most impactful thing on academics in our school. Emily has also greatly impacted my personal leadership and coaching. As a coach, Emily is open and does everything she can to accommodate your needs.
Emily brings a wealth of expertise to literacy instruction and school leadership. Lifelong Readers has transformed the way we teach literacy in our network—our kids are not only being challenged like never before, but they are developing a love for reading! Emily is incredibly relational. I’ve never felt so cared for by an external expert—she’s totally a part of our team and family.
Emily has been a tremendous support, mentor, and partner since day one. I can't imagine our school without her influence on student achievement, staff professional development, and my personal development.
The Lifelong Readers Curriculum is the best I’ve seen and provides a concrete structure, specific guides and resources that are proven to work and allow teachers to have a clear direction of where they need to go. It is a teacher's dream and can change the trajectory of reading for all students who use it.
Emily has a gift for making the staff feel valued, empowered, and motivated to take the brutal facts and rectify them. She invests people and delivers content with great clarity.
The curriculum and training by Emily significantly helped our staff. Teachers went from guessing how to deliver guided reading instruction to teaching at a high level. Students are stronger readers as a direct result of the Lifelong Readers curriculum.
