Emma Eiden is the Education Programs Coordinator at Winnebago Area Literacy Council and teaches at the WALC’s workplace literacy program at Amcor-Oshkosh North. Emma holds her degree and teaching certifications from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She began her time in schools in 2013, working in a variety of roles and titles in the Wausau and Milwaukee Public School system. In 2019, she was recruited by the Taiwanese Ministry of Education to instruct in a bilingual Mandarin and English program that reached rural and Indigenous villages. While overseas, she got her first experience writing curricula for language learners.
The global pandemic brought Emma to the Oshkosh area and the Oshkosh Area School District where she worked as an English to Speakers of Other Languages Specialist and Case Manager, helping develop, author, and implement Foundational Reading classes for the growing Immigrant and Refugee population. Emma looks forward to further supporting this community that she has fallen in love with over the last few years.
