Guiding literacy teachers to create classroom systems and structures to effectively provide excellent reading instruction for all students

SERVICES

For Schools & Districts

I walk alongside new reading teachers to offer consistent care and support to help build their confidence and become literacy experts in their classrooms so that students can excel at reading.

For Parents

Through my Raising Readers program, I give parents direct access to the foundational phonics skills young children need to become master readers.

BELIEFS

Literacy is an absolute right for everyone, everywhere. All children should have access to quality reading instruction.

Educators are the most incredible people on earth, and when given the space to pause, process, reflect then apply, educators can excel as leaders in their classroom, school systems and community.

Every educator deserves to feel supported and valued. When teachers are equipped with the right tools and encouragement, they can transform the lives of their students and inspire a love for learning.

    Adrienne Kennedy

    Senior Lead Partner, Transforming Education

  • Rebecca was wonderful to work with. In my first year in a newly established role, I often found myself lost without a thought partner. Rebecca became that thought partner for me. Her reflective questions pushed me to think outside of the box. One thing that I admired about Rebecca is that she never asked anyone to do an activity that she wasn't prepared to do herself. Her vulnerability inspires others to be vulnerable while reflecting on themselves and their work.

    Cindy Devers

    Coordinator of Social Emotional Support

  • Rebecca brings her whole being into her work. With colleagues that means she is joyful, creative, passionate, authentic, and reflective. This is evident not only in her relationships and how she shows up, but in her project management and strategic planning. I have had the privilege of working with Rebecca with several district partners. She cultivates true partnerships, listening to the needs of the people she is working with, and adapting her planning accordingly. Her sessions use multiple mediums and push participants' thinking through a unique blend of humor, intellectual challenge, and reflexive questioning. More than anything else she builds community and a sense of shared vision and purpose. She is a true joy to work with.

  • Rebecca was a masterful thought partner on my growth journey as a principal. She was kind but also challenged me in my thinking. Rebecca brought insight to our conversations that gave me the opportunity to develop concrete action steps for making moves within my school community. I am so grateful that I had the chance to work with her!

    Kristi-Lynn Craig

    Principal

  • I’m very grateful to say that I worked with Rebecca Guillory at Transforming Education; I learned a lot from her during our time as colleagues. Rebecca is passionate about improving the K-12 education system for all youth and she exudes enthusiasm and optimism in her interactions with her partners/clients. Always intentional about creating welcoming and joyful spaces for learning (whether those spaces are online or in person), Rebecca utilizes best practices in the field, combined with her own experiences as an educator, to make a difference. She is an impactful coach.

    Stephanie Sutcliffe

    Senior Director, Strategic Initiatives

  • Rebecca has been a breath of fresh air and the consummate professional. I appreciate our check ins and her candor. Each time we speak I am reminded of her deep commitment to excellence, her focus on results and her drive to engage in meaningful work to build the capacity of adults to support children. I appreciate the way she empathetically reflects and considers the needs of those she supports and works alongside. Rebecca is focused, detail oriented and an excellent educational leader. Her years of experience in the classroom then as a campus administrator show in the way she goes about the work of caring for the needs of those she engages. Her empathetic nature if felt in the way she coaches adults. She works to understand the needs of the people in her care, plans for their success and engages in recursive dialogue and structures to meet their needs. Her reflection and ability to ask deep thoughtful questions is an asset to any organization she chooses to work with.
