From the Classroom to Broader Conversations in the Field

I’m Emily Maring, M.Ed., founder of the Early Professionals Institute & Collective. EPIC was created to support educators working with multilingual learners through practical, classroom-tested professional learning.

With more than 14 years of experience in Title I elementary schools, I’ve served as an ESL specialist and a lead multicultural/bilingual educator. My work includes curriculum development, job-embedded instructional support, and coordinating ACCESS testing at the school level.

Every EPIC course and training is grounded in what actually works with real students, real classrooms, and real constraints. EPIC was created to bridge classroom practice, adult learning, and workforce development through practical, research-informed professional learning.
