Hello! I’m Emma Oliver. After seven years of teaching, I’m now a full time curriculum designer. I taught both general and special education over the years. I focused on teaching language arts and math, ranging from grades 6-12. My career began as a member of Teach For America, Atlanta 2012. After serving in the TFA corps, I taught at two schools across seven grade levels.
I have a Masters degree in Reading and a Bachelor’s degree in 7-12 Secondary ELA Education. One of my favorite educational experiences was student teaching in South Africa!
I believe in providing choice and scaffolded support to teach reading and writing. Additionally, I think novels are the best and most engaging way to teach reading and promote a lifelong love of learning.
I love YA literature and enjoy creating resources for teachers to bring culturally-responsive, high-interest lessons into the classroom.
