Leah Steiner is a graduate of Mount Holyoke College (BA) and the City University of New York, Hunter College (M.Ed). After years in the elementary classroom, Leah transitioned to administration and became a Director of Middle School, where she discovered a passion for coaching teachers as they built student-centered approaches to literacy instruction. While an administrator, Leah had the opportunity to travel to China to observe a wide variety of school structures and further develop her understanding of effective curriculum.
