Leading Adult Learning was awarded Learning Forward's book of fall 2009. She is currently writing Learning and Leading Together (Corwin/Sage). Ellie has served as teacher, program designer, director, consultant, and professional developer in a variety of educational contexts, including K-12 schools, adult education community centers, and universities. She also was a lead researcher, with Robert Kegan, on the Adult Development Team of the National Center for the Study of Adult Learning and Literacy (NCSALL) at Harvard University. She consults for coaches, leaders, and educational organizations on matters of personal and professional learning and development for superintendents, principals, and teachers, as well as on leadership supportive of adult growth domestically and internationally. Ellie has been awarded three distinguished teaching awards from Teachers College (2007), the Harvard Graduate School of Education's Morningstar Award (2005) for excellence in teaching, and Harvard Extension School's Dean's Award for Excellence in Teaching (1998).
