About Glean Education Glean Education’s Core Values : Warmth Excellence Diversity Empathy Trustworthiness Curiosity Improvement Glean Education’s Vision : All educators have the knowledge, tools, and systems to deliver high-quality, data-driven literacy instruction and ensure all students achieve reading proficiency.

Glean Education’s History Glean Education started as an advocacy journey over 30 years ago. Our founder, Jessica Hamman, grew up in a family of education professionals - her father, Emerson Dickman, was president of the International Dyslexia Association (IDA) who helped create the definition for dyslexia.

Her mother was a professor and teacher trainer. They became involved in the field while advocating for her brother with dyslexia in the public school system.

Two decades later, Jessica found herself advocating for her own son with dyslexia. As she began supporting her child through school, she found that there was still the same lack of knowledge about dyslexia as there was before.

Much had been accomplished by her parents and other leaders in the research field, but on the ground and in the schools, there was still much work still to be done.

In January 2016, Jessica founded Glean Education bringing her background in early literacy and online instructional design to build online content in literacy and special education for in-service teachers and districts.

Glean works with schools, districts, and state departments of education around the country to build educator knowledge and support implementation through an innovative PD approach.

We are thrilled to become such a trusted space for educators. · www.gleaneducation.com · Powered by JazzHR
