Bio
Liz Locatelli, Ed. D.
Liz has been passionate about helping at risk students throughout her career. As a public-school teacher, she created a summer program to prepare students who had been socially promoted for the rigor of high school. That program led to the creation of an alternative annex, which to this day focuses on building student efficacy for over one hundred students in the North Rockland CSD. Her work with at risk students in the alternative program as well as in a maximum- security prison has inspired her dedication to programs that address the needs of marginalized students and their teachers
Liz has extensive background in literacy education, curriculum development, professional development and action research. She holds an Ed.D., from New York University in Literacy Education and her dissertation was on engaging teachers in creating their own curriculum. At LCI, Liz has focused on working with teachers to create Quality Curriculum, including authentic assessment tasks, formative assessment and rubrics, all aligned to the standards. She has also worked with representatives from various districts to create school-based, district-based and regional Quality Assessment Tasks.
Liz has had two articles published by ASCD, “Tough Love and Endless Chances” in Smartbrief and “Students Will If Teachers Will: Re-orienting Teachers and Students Toward Self-Directed Learning” in IMPACT. She also wrote a chapter on Vocabulary Development for Why Am I Doing This? by Giselle O. Martin-Kniep.
