Emily Feltner

Emily Feltner, EdD, has over 30 years of experience at all levels in education. She works with schools and districts in the areas of leadership, literacy, and school improvement. As the assistant superintendent of teaching, learning, and leadership for Lake County Schools in Florida, she led one of the largest school systems to become a Model PLC at Work® district.

Dr. Feltner has worked with districts throughout the nation, coaching principals and district leaders in literacy leadership practices that support creating a professional learning community committed to a focus on learning, collaborative teams, and results. She conducts side-by-side coaching and demonstration lessons for teachers, and she helps leaders implement instructional coaching systems that support the shift to equitable, student-centered, collaborative classrooms.

Her experience in leading a school out of school improvement status allows her to support others on the same journey. The school moved from low performing to a school of distinction by developing a tiered coaching system for teachers, establishing weekly training in inclusive literacy, creating time for collaborative planning, developing common formative assessments, and implementing targeted intervention and acceleration time.

Dr. Feltner has presented throughout the United States and Canada on topics that include transforming district and school systems, literacy leadership, developing collaborative cultures, coaching for results and creating equitable and inclusive schools. She is a member of the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD), Learning Forward, and the American Association of School Administrators (AASA). Her blog post titled “Reflections from Another PLC Institute” can be found on allthingsplc.info

Dr. Feltner earned her master’s degree in elementary education, and her specialist’s and doctorate degrees from Saint Louis University in educational leadership.
