Meet Ella Holton-McCoy

After completing a 2-year teaching fellowship with Words in the Wild in 2021, Ella helped lay the foundation for our cycle of educator and student support (the Waterfall Method of Mentoring) as a Words in the Wild Learning Specialist. She currently supports students and families as an Educational Therapist and Executive Function Coach, incorporating her knowledge of special education, neuroscience, strengths-based teaching practices, and mindfulness to create individualized learning pathways. She holds a BS in Liberal Studies with an emphasis in Literacy and a focus in Special Education from San Diego State University, and an MA in Educational Therapy from Holy Names University. Learn more about her in the December 2024 newsletter — and hear about her Teaching Fellowship experience in her own words here:
