Shellie P. Riley, MA, MFA/JD is the
Founder of Recipe 4 Success, Inc. Educational Consulting, Coaching and
Placement.
Preparing bright children for academic success requires more than tossing
intellectual ingredients into a bowl and hoping for the best. Satisfying
and nourishing recipes combine things that can’t always be measured by grades
or scores: a healthy helping of curiosity, a pinch of inspiration, a dash
of rigor and the organization to bind it all together. Every student has
unique interests, goals and learning styles, and the most effective one-on-one
teaching models are based on these.
Shellie's
consulting practice stands apart because she is a REAL TEACHER who has
touched the lives of every academic subgroup including Early Childhood,
Special Needs, Advanced Placement, Highly-Gifted and Talented and Undergraduate and Post Graduate populations.
With
over 20 years experience as Master Teacher, Federal Programs Adviser, Preparatory and Post-Secondary Admissions and Transition Counselor
and Family Advocate, Shellie Riley supports and advises educational populations from Pre-K through University Levels.
In
addition to earning concurrent Masters of Fine Arts and Juris Doctorate degrees from UCLA, Shellie carries Elementary, Secondary and CLAD (English
Language Learners) California Teaching Credentials as well as a Masters Degree in
Educational Leadership and Administration. A proponent of Single-Sex education for women, Shellie is a proud Alumna of Marlborough
School in Los Angeles.
As a specialist in Socratic Instruction, Shellie has trained generations of educators to employ hands-on, child-centered, project-based teaching strategies. Shellie founded Recipe 4 Success, Inc. on the premise that purposeful
learning comes through experiential acquisition, not rote memorization or
rigid, one-size-fits-all, cookie-cutter instruction.
Currently, she and her husband raise
two elementary-aged children enrolled in an Independent School. Shellie proudly brags that her children could
care less about educational pedagogy – They just want to have fun.
