Emily Strang-Campbell began her teaching career as a middle school teacher in New York City, after earning her Master’s Degree from New York University, with a dual certification in Educational Theatre and English in the secondary classroom. As a middle school teacher, Emily regularly participated in and led professional development around literacy teaching methods. Her middle school classroom became a host for instructional lab sites for teachers and educational leaders from around the country. 

Her school-based professional learning leadership led her to begin consulting locally and nationally, supporting 3rd-8th grade classrooms. She has presented at institutes across the country, but her true passion lies in the classroom setting, coaching both teachers and students around powerful literacy work. 

In addition, Emily has co-authored two middle school curriculum books: Research-Based Informational Writing and Social Issue Book Clubs: Reading for Empathy and Advocacy. She is also the co-author of the revised informational writing middle school unit. She has a strong belief in literacy as a pathway into social action. Emily lives in South Orange, NJ with her husband and two kids and loves going on local bookshop tours with her three-year-old and seven-year old.
