Background

About Elizabeth Wallace

As the Editorial Director at Gibbs Smith Education, I oversee the editorial, artistic, and curriculum design of all our programs and products, with a focus on K–12 social studies textbooks and resources. I have more than four years of experience in this role, and a Master of Education degree in curriculum design and instruction. I collaborate with various stakeholders, such as state historical societies, professors, cultural representatives, and social studies experts, to ensure our textbooks provide an accurate, well-rounded, and multi-perspective narrative of each state's history. I also develop robust and engaging curriculum that caters to different learning modalities, covers all levels of DoK, and includes formative, summative and self-assessments. I am proud of our award-winning publications which have been adopted by numerous schools and districts across the country. My goal is to create resources that make the lives and jobs of educators easier while ensuring students learn and appreciate the rich and diverse stories of the past. I enjoy working with a talented and passionate team of editors, designers, production, and marketing staff, and I value the opportunity to learn from them and share my expertise. I am always seeking new ways to improve our products and processes, and to deliver high-quality and innovative social studies education.
