Dr. Corey Lott - Educator, researcher, learning designer, SEL specialist

With over 20 years of experience in education, I have had the privilege of working with teachers and students across various ages and disciplines. As a passionate educator, researcher, and learning designer, I am dedicated to creating dynamic, inclusive learning environments that foster both academic success and social-emotional growth.

I am particularly committed to design strategies for K-12 and higher eduction that integrate social-emotional learning (SEL) with academic instruction with the guidance of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles. My approach is research-informed, field tested and grounded in the belief that learning is a social process. To my work I bring a deep understanding of instructional design for in-person and online learning, culturally relevant teaching strategies, and assessment practices that drive meaningful learning outcomes in ways that ignite curiosity, deepen engagement, and support meaningful connections.

Beyond the classroom, I founded two company’s.

  • Corey Lott’s Educational Consulting supports teachers and administrators in educational excellence.

  • Worldwide EC, supports the legacy work of trainers using encouragement practices based on Adlerian theory to help others cultivate self-knowledge and well-being.

    Through both companies, I host multi-lingual workshops—in-person and virtual—for groups ranging from small teams to hundreds of participants. I look forward to opportunities to collaborate, innovate, and inspire lifelong learning!
