Mary Kim Schreck

Mary Kim Schreck is a consultant, an author, and a speaker across the United States. She has more than three decades of experience with literacy instruction at the high school level.

Over the years, thousands of teachers have attended her motivating, fast-paced workshops and keynotes that blend current, research-based information on student literacy, engagement, creativity, and effective teaching practices into seamless messages. She is involved with the Solution Tree program to implement the Common Core Standards in New Mexico, where she is working with districts that have a large number of Native American students. Her ability to relate to teachers’ needs to translate abstract mandates such as the CCSS into terms that apply to both their classrooms and their students’ circumstances has proved to be her strength as a presenter and an author.

Mary Kim is the author of Transformers: Creative Teachers for the 21st Century (nominated for the Delta Kappa Gamma International Educator’s Book Award), You've Got to Reach Them to Teach Them, From Tired to Inspired, and four books of poetry. She has also written articles for national and state education journals. Her work can be further explored at solution-tree.com and you can follow her on Twitter at @marykim
