What Educators Are Saying

“Dr. Paige Pullen’s leadership and deep expertise in early literacy have been transformative for educators and students across Florida. As Chief Academic Officer and Literacy Principal at the University of Florida’s Lastinger Center for Learning, Paige brought her passion for evidence-based instruction to the Pinellas Early Literacy Initiative, helping Pinellas County Schools develop a program that is now a model for districts statewide. Under her guidance, educators have embraced the science of reading and seen measurable improvements in early grade reading proficiency, demonstrating Paige’s commitment to both teacher development and student success. Her ability to translate research into practical, classroom-ready strategies has empowered teachers, inspired learners, and positioned PELI as an impactful example of what equitable and effective literacy education can achieve.”

“Dr. Paige Pullen exemplifies what it means to be a courageous and compassionate leader in the field of special education. In her work as an Associate Professor at the University of Virginia’s Curry School of Education, she has consistently illuminated critical gaps in how schools identify and support students with learning disabilities. Dr. Pullen’s research highlights the importance of accurate identification and appropriate intervention—reminding educators and policymakers that inclusive practices must be backed by systems that truly meet students’ needs rather than mask their challenges. Her insights into the limitations of traditional and Response to Intervention models have advanced our understanding of how instructional practices and service provisions can inadvertently leave vulnerable learners without the support they deserve. Above all, Paige’s advocacy for fair, individualized educational experiences reflects her unwavering commitment to equity and student success.”
