Elise Guest
Senior Education Improvement Specialist
My name is Elise Guest, and I am a Senior Education Improvement Specialist at Marzano Research, bringing extensive expertise in research-backed improvement efforts, strategic planning and facilitation, teaching and learning systems, and leadership development. I began my career as a United States Peace Corps Volunteer in Malawi, South Africa. During my volunteer service, I learned a Swahili Proverb – “A boat doesn’t go forward if one is rowing their own way.” This simple proverb has guided my work as a Special Education teacher, K–12 Principal, and K–12 Executive Director teaching and learning across the globe, from Africa to Oregon to Singapore to Montana. With a doctorate in education methodology, policy, and leadership from the University of Oregon, I have led large-scale education initiatives, including systems reviews, Teacher as Researcher, and professional learning and coaching. I specialize in PreK–12 literacy, multi-tiered systems of support, and school improvement. I am passionate about leveraging data-informed decision making and collaborative networks to drive meaningful, lasting improvements in education.
I am originally from Missoula, Montana where I have returned to raise my daughter. You can find me outdoors enjoying the great Big Sky, planning my next global adventure, and spending time with dear family and friends.
You can often find me:
- Planning my next global adventure
- Sharing Sunday supper with friends and family
- Wandering through a farmer’s market
- Getting lost on a trail
- Reading educational research or a toddler picture book
