Jaime Margolies
Jaime Margolies has worked as an educator for over 30 years. She has taught in both public and private schools. She transitioned into her work as a literacy consultant 15 years ago which allowed her to have a greater impact on teachers and students beyond solely her school.

Management Strategies for the Reading and Writing Classroom.
Jaime's contributions to her schools include mentoring new and experienced teachers in successful adoption of systematic phonics programs, curriculum implementation, classroom management, small group instruction, project-based learning, co-teaching models, and differentiated instruction. Her extensive knowledge of the Next Generation Learning Standards and what works best for children helps her write strong curricula that meet the unique needs of each school. Using her 15+ years of classroom experience, Jaime supports teachers at all levels and in all instructional settings to implement best practices for student success. Teachers experience success as they are coached in labsites and one-on-one coaching.
Jaime recognizes that it is important to work closely with administrators to create a strong school vision, implement data driven instruction, and create strong supportive learning environments for all. She has worked with brand new as well as established schools. Her work with teachers, principals, literacy coaches, paras/assistant teachers and parents helps to create schools and communities where all students are successful.
