Ellie is passionate about ensuring all students have access to an excellent, research-backed education that honors each student's identity and fosters a love of learning.  After receiving her masters in Curriculum and Teaching from Teachers College, she spent several years teaching elementary humanities before transitioning to the role of Humanities Dean and Principal-In-Residence. Most recently, she worked at Amplify to build a Social Studies curriculum and then as Director of Humanities for the Achievement First Charter Network. She is so excited to have the opportunity to partner with schools and support them in realizing their full potential.
