Ginny Dembek Ph.D.
Educational consulting for schools and organizations
Broader partnership work grounded in special education research—organizational structure, teacher and tutor training, and evidence-based literacy supports for public and private schools, programs, and nonprofits.
Who consulting is for
Consulting is separate from one-to-one tutoring. It is partnership work with schools and organizations that want systems and training aligned with student needs.
Organizational structure and program design
Consulting on how literacy and intervention supports are organized across a school, program, or nonprofit, so systems align with student needs and available staffing.
Teacher and tutor training
Professional development for educators and tutors on structured literacy, inclusive practice, and intervention approaches grounded in special education research.
Literacy intervention and inclusive practice
Guidance on evidence-based literacy intervention and inclusive supports. Prior collaborative work includes literacy tutoring with New York Foundling.
How consulting works
Partnerships are planned around your setting and goals, using methods drawn from special education research and classroom practice. The aim is stronger systems and training—not guaranteed student outcomes.
Needs and context first
Work begins with understanding your school, program, or organization's goals, staffing, and current literacy or intervention supports.
Research-informed recommendations
Guidance draws on special education and literacy intervention research, adapted to your setting rather than a one-size approach.
Training that sticks
Professional development for teachers and tutors is designed for classroom use—structured literacy, inclusive practice, and intervention methods that transfer to daily work.
Systems that support students
Consulting can address how supports are organized across a program so students receive consistent, evidence-aligned instruction.
