She took on the charge of Unbound Ed that the very first charge in doing this was adopting a curriculum.

Prior to her role as Mathematics Curriculum Manager, Emily served as an instructional coach. During this time, she had a few Battelle for Kids sessions where she unpacked what Value Added was and how she and her team could use this information to improve instruction.
