Tapestry Charter School · Literacy Support

Welcome to Emily Buerster’s Page

Literacy Interventionist

I have enjoyed working with young children for as long as I can remember, and I am grateful to be part of Tapestry’s supportive learning community. I joined Tapestry in 2017 as a student teacher in a fifth-grade classroom and immediately felt at home. In May 2018, I graduated from Canisius College with a bachelor’s degree in Students with Disabilities and Childhood Education (Grades 1–6). I began my role as a Teaching Partner in the Helpful Heroes first-grade classroom, where I loved watching students learn and grow.

I later worked with an amazing Kindergarten team in the Terrific Turtles classroom, where our youngest learners taught me to appreciate the little things in life. I hold certification in Early Childhood Education (Birth–Grade 2) and earned my master’s degree in Literacy Education (Birth–Grade 6) from Canisius College. I am also trained as a Reading Recovery Teacher.

When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, visiting my sister in Colorado, going to the gym, reading, shopping, drinking coffee, and playing with my dog, Jameson—the cutest little Labradoodle ever!
