Emily became the Program Manager where she then trained and coached teachers in their classroom implementation of begin to ECSEL language, tools, and techniques, as well as in their ECSEL-integrated emergent curriculum. The ECSEL program made an immense impact on Emily herself both personally and professionally, on her classroom and the children and families in her care, and on the teachers that she coached and mentored.
