Biography

My name is Jody Nolf and I am a former public school educator. I have a degree in English, certification in reading and ESOL, and a master’s degree in leadership and administration. For over twenty years, I taught English and intensive reading to middle and high school students in Palm Beach County, FL, the 10th largest school district in the country. For six years following my classroom experience, I served as a full-time ESOL coordinator (as it is called in FL) and advocate for multilingual learners. In 2020, I was named a Champion of Equity by the American Consortium for Equity in Education. In June of 2022, I began a new career at Vista Higher Learning as the Florida Literacy and Language Sales Specialist, and in October of that year, I became the Literacy Engagement Specialist for the East Coast. This new career allows me to continue to share my passion for literacy and advocate for multilingual learners, while training educators with our products and delivering professional development to schools and districts all along the East Coast of the United States.
