Autumn Mosby

Autumn Mosby has served as an elementary instructional coach and teacher for the past 13 years at the Neosho School District in Southwest Missouri. She is passionate about literacy, effective instructional practice and intervention, and coaching.

Autumn has worked with multiple buildings in her district on creating systematic approaches to instruction and intervention practices. She partners with classroom teachers during collaboration, using coaching cycles to strengthen Tier 1 and Tier 2 instruction. She also works with staff who provide Tier 3 intervention to help bridge their intervention practices to the classroom. She has helped build systems for diagnostic assessment, monitoring student progress, and targeted interventions that have led to significant growth and achievement in her schools. Because of these systems, she was able to help lead one of her buildings to receive Model Professional Learning Community at Work® status. She has led multiple professional developments at both state and national levels, focusing on student-centered instruction and how the brain learns, and has published an article on the role of cognition in the gradual release model on Edutopia.com.

Autumn has her master’s degree in reading from Missouri State University and was certified as a literacy coach through the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
