About Danielle Gallagher

Hi, I’m Danielle Gallagher — an educator, curriculum designer, and firm believer that rigorous academics and emotional intelligence go hand in hand. With over a decade of experience in the classroom, I’ve worked with students from all walks of life and seen just how powerful learning can be when we support the whole child — both emotionally and intellectually.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary and Special Education, a Master of Science in Education, and a Master of Arts in Holocaust and Genocide Studies. These academic foundations continue to shape my commitment to creating curriculum that is both intellectually challenging and deeply human-centered.

I created The Social Emotional Pathway to give educators meaningful tools to help students recognize their emotions, build resilience, and grow in self-awareness, while also staying grounded in strong academic expectations. My curriculum is designed to be engaging, practical, and standards-aligned, so teachers don’t have to choose between meaningful connection and meaningful content.

I believe in setting the bar high — not just for academic achievement, but for empathy, critical thinking, and personal growth. My resources reflect this belief, offering a balance of structure, creativity, and real-world relevance.

When I’m not designing curriculum, you’ll find me supporting other educators or reading with a notebook in hand.

Thanks for being here — I’m honored to support the work you do.
