Sherry Guice, Ed.D. has been teaching in some capacity since 1984, primarily in middle school and higher education. Sherry’s desire to learn and teach others about reading and literature has led her in many paths: graduate school at the University of Georgia, a researcher at the National Research Center on Literature Teaching and Learning, Outreach Director for the National Research Center on English Learning and Achievement, Reading Specialist at South Colonie CSD, and leader of numerous study groups on professional books and books for children. Sherry has worked in the Capital Region for decades to promote wide reading among teachers and students by reading with teachers, promoting Little Free Libraries, and learning side by side with children and teachers. 

Throughout her career, Sherry has been honored to be recognized by her peers for her commitment and service to the education community. She has received the School of Education Excellence in Teaching Award, and was awarded the Research on Women Small Grants Program with Dr. Anne Roberts and the Reading Department Discretionary Monetary Grant, all from the University at Albany. She was also awarded the United University Professions (UUP) Faculty Development Grant.

Sherry’s work has been published in many professional publications, including English Journal, Peabody Journal of Education, English Update, Our Children – The National PTA Magazine, the Handbook for Literacy Educators, the School Administrator, and more. Additionally, her work has been presented at the national level, as well as at the local state and regional levels. Sherry is grateful for the many opportunities she has had to share both her work and her love of reading and literature with educators throughout the Capital Region.
