Emily Carley
M.Ed. VTED K-6, VTED Literacy Specialist PreK-12, IDA Member, Associate Level Trained
Educator - Entrepreneur - Consultant
Emily is a highly skilled literacy educator. A state certified Literacy Specialist, Emily has 20 years experience in education, 15 as a dedicated early elementary classroom educator in Vermont public schools (licensed K-6, 2028). She has served as a literacy consultant for private schools (K-12). She is currently a specialized literacy instructor (K-12) with a Vermont Public school district, teaching 1:1, small group and leading a high school level Core Literacy course. Fall semester 2023, Emily is teaching The Science of Reading in Practice, a master’s level course through Southern New Hampshire University. She is the entrepreneur of her own business, The Literacy Spark, LLC. Emily’s literacy instruction is scientifically-based, systematic, explicit, multi-sensory and emotionally sound for students of all ages.
When she’s not teaching, you can find Emily seeking her own adventure. She’s quick to take watercolors out of her pack to paint dawns and dusks or venture off to sift through tidepools at the ocean. She frequently challenges herself with new experiences as a writer and content creator, and giving to others in her community. Most recently she’s learning to operate a Massey-Ferguson tractor, pruning a seemingly-untamable pear tree, focusing on community response to mental health needs, navigating Chicago & L.A. public transit, and seeking world tastes such as Ethiopian or Greek with family, and conversation at the table.
