Educator’s Forte is excited to announce that we have partnered with reading specialist and school leader Ellery Garrison! Ellery brings more than two decades of experience in education as a teacher, literacy coach, reading diagnostician, professional development specialist, and school leader to our team.
Ellery serves in a leadership capacity with Baker Charter Schools (Oregon) and provides consultative services through My Reading Specialist Consulting (www.myreadingspecialist.com) an organization focused on providing resources for both teachers and parents to help young readers succeed. Ellery offers consultative services to schools and districts, aimed at helping them improve reading instruction. As an advocate for educational change, she has consulted with many schools and districts across the country to provide needs analysis, recommendations, and support for both systemic change and for individual classroom teachers.
Ellery is partnering with Educator’s Forte in the creation of tools and resources for instructional coaches and school leaders to help them better support the teachers they serve with relevant and sustainable professional growth opportunities. Her first project focuses on helping educators build a foundational understanding of the Science of Reading, drawing connections between science and everyday classroom practice.
Educator’s Forte looks forward to the pending release of our first joint project with Ellery. In the meantime we encourage you to visit My Reading Specialist Consulting and contact Ellery if she can be of service to your school or district.
