Emily Saatcioglu - Instructional Coach, Bishop Ward High School

I chose to become a PLUS Resident because transformational leaders are critical to ensure Kansas City students receive the education they deserve.

Prior to the Residency, I was involved in K-12 education. My key accomplishments include a tutoring program, a project to support first generation college applicants, and teacher training for the Peace Corps. In a broader role, I developed programs for Girl Scouts and served as a volunteer in California’s Correctional Facilities. My most recent work includes instructional coaching in public schools and graduate-level teaching at Baker University. I received the STAR and Good Apple Teaching Awards, and I presented my doctoral research at the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association.
