We strive to be the trusted partner that helps you navigate complex educational landscapes, refine your scholarly contributions, and implement innovative, equitable literacy solutions.

Our Vision

Literacy Education Collective LLC was founded by Dr. Melissa  Wicker, a seasoned literacy specialist with a Ph.D. in Instructional Leadership and Academic Curriculum from the University of Oklahoma. With over 15 years of experience spanning academic research, curriculum development, teacher training, and institutional leadership, Dr. Wicker recognized a critical need for specialized, high-level support for those driving literacy forward.

Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that effective literacy education is the cornerstone of individual empowerment and societal progress. We understand the unique challenges faced by scholars striving for publication, institutions developing impactful programs, and leaders navigating policy shifts. Our approach is not just about providing answers; it's about fostering capacity, building sustainable solutions, and ensuring that every effort in literacy education is grounded in robust research and designed for maximum impact. We are passionate about transforming insights into action, and complex ideas into clear, compelling narratives.
