Westchester Education Services understands that developing strong reading skills at a young age leads to lifelong learning. That’s why literacy education is a cornerstone of our literacy content development team.
Industry veterans with years of experience and passion for education anchor our literacy content team. Jennifer Cole leads the literacy team. Prior to joining Westchester as Content Director, Literacy, Humanities, and Languages, Jennifer worked for education publishers including Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and Sundance Publishing to create market-leading literacy programs.
Jennifer leads a cadre of experienced writers and editors to develop materials that captivate young readers across a variety of components. Our team is focused and passionate about creating high-quality literacy content for both students and teachers. Our standards are very high: we treat your content as if it were our own.
