Erin Downey, Mlis Email & Phone Number

I’m an experienced teacher, librarian, educational trainer, and presenter with 18 years of experience in public education settings. In my current role, I support school librarians, library assistants, teachers, and school staff in getting the most out of their library, literacy, and technology programs. Throughout the course of my career, I have discovered a passion for coaching educators and administrators through their next big challenge. My librarian heart loves taking chaos and confusion and helping people to plot a simple, straightforward course towards their immediate and long-term goals in a way that is accessible, measurable, and sustainable. I have a deep commitment to creating top-notch educational experiences for educators and learning professionals by implementing the same proven strategies that we know transform learning for students.I received my Bachelors in Arts in Secondary Education from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, in 2004, and taught Reading and English in grades 7-12 until 2010.​ I earned a Masters in Library and Information Studies from The University of Alabama in 2011, and was a high school librarian from 2010 until taking a district position overseeing the Boise School District's 45 school library programs in 2014.When I'm not librarianing, I take every opportunity for adventure. My current passions are swimming, whitewater rafting, aerial silks, and flying trapeze!
