Tammy Pawloski has led more than 2500 professional learning events for teachers, school leaders, and stakeholders. She understands the challenges and opportunities of teaching and has devoted the last twenty five years to the study of under-resourced learners—why they struggle, and which strategies have the greatest impact. Pawloski is a noted expert because of her breadth of knowledge, however what resonates most with teachers and school leaders is her ability to deliver an uncommon combination of research, practice, and compelling stories from the field that both empower and challenge.
Tammy Pawloski is Professor of Education and Director of the Center of Excellence to Prepare Teachers of Children of Poverty at Francis Marion University. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of South Carolina, and, prior to joining the faculty of FMU, she served on the faculties of USC in South Carolina, and Ventura College and Pepperdine University in Southern California.

Lynley Mandrell is married to Ben, the president and CEO of Lifeway Christian Resources. Prior to Lifeway, Ben and Lynley spent 17 years in pastoral ministry and now host "The Glass House" podcast, where they enjoy speaking into the lives of ministry leaders. In this season of life, she is highly invested in three main areas. First and foremost, she serves as mother to four young adults and “favorite-person” to two Golden Retrievers. Second, she is Lifeway’s Coordinator of Milestones and Moments, helping the organization celebrate and see the special contributions of others throughout the year. Finally, she serves as Strategic Project Manager for Visioneering Studios, an architectural firm that specializes in creating and enhancing spaces for local churches. And when not doing all of this, Lynley loves exercising with her friends at Pure Barre, eating Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, and dragging Ben through the National Parks.
