    Susan Long, Education Consultant

    How they worked together: As a professional learning consultant, I partnered with many of the same education organizations as Susan. We frequently supported the same engagements; I got to know her as a

    I am pleased to recommend Susan Marschner, owner of Equipped Education, as an exceptional educational consultant and partner in the K–12 literacy field. I have had the opportunity to work with Susan professionally as an educational consultant and have been consistently impressed by her depth of knowledge, thoughtful approach, and commitment to improving outcomes for educators and students. Susan brings extensive expertise in literacy instruction and intervention, the Science of Reading, MTSS, special education, instructional design, professional learning, coaching, and educational systems improvement. What distinguishes her work, however, is not simply the breadth of her knowledge—it is her ability to understand and honor the unique context in which each organization operates. Susan takes the time to learn the specific needs, goals, challenges, and strengths of a district and its educators. She then deeply internalizes that information and uses it to create uniquely curated professional learning experiences that are relevant, purposeful, and immediately applicable. Her approach is collaborative and context-driven, helping organizations build the knowledge, capacity, and systems necessary to improve outcomes for all learners. In working alongside Susan in many professional learning engagements, I can attest that one area where she particularly excels is helping educators understand the intricacies and complexities of implementing the Science of Reading. She has a remarkable ability to take complex research and instructional concepts and make them accessible and meaningful to educators. At the same time, she recognizes that successful implementation requires more than simply understanding the research—it requires thoughtful consideration of an organization's existing systems, practices, people, and goals. Susan's personalized and respectful approach creates an environment where educators feel valued, supported, and empowered to grow. Participants leave her professional learning not only with greater understanding, but with practical knowledge and increased confidence to apply what they have learned in service of their students. I have great respect for Susan's expertise, professionalism, and dedication to the field of education. She is a thoughtful collaborator who brings both deep content knowledge and a genuine commitment to helping educators and systems succeed. Her inclusion on the K–12 Consultant Marketplace provides school and district leaders with another avenue to connect with a consultant whose work is grounded in expertise, collaboration, and a genuine understanding of the complexities of educational improvement. I recommend Susan Marschner and Equipped Education without hesitation to school and district leaders seeking a knowledgeable, responsive, and highly skilled partner in literacy and educational systems improvement.
