Influential Women Spotlights Carol Josel: Educator, Author, Consultant, and Founder of School-Wise Books
Blue Bell, Pennsylvania – Carol Josel, an esteemed educator, author, and consultant, has dedicated her career to empowering students, teachers, and parents through innovative educational practices.
With a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Maine and a Master’s in Education with a focus on Reading from Arcadia University, Carol has spent over 27 years shaping the educational landscape as a middle school learning specialist in Pennsylvania’s Methacton School District. Her recently retired role as a student teacher supervisor at Ursinus College solidifies her commitment to nurturing the next generation of educators.
Throughout her career, Carol has been a pioneer in personalized learning strategies, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to student engagement and success. By fostering meaningful parent involvement and creating individualized learning experiences, she has transformed countless lives, enabling students to thrive in both academic and personal realms.
“As a champion for the education of today’s children, I’m not just a teacher but a parent, too,” Carol shares. “I’m passionate about helping those in the trenches with me, so to speak, discover how to motivate and support children, as they strive for academic success and meet the challenges of today’s learning environment.”
As the Founder of School-Wise Books, LLC, Carol has expanded her influence well beyond the classroom, offering impactful parenting resources, educational commentary, and professional development tools for educators. Through her work as a freelance writer and presenter, she has become a trusted voice on topics ranging from classroom management to the evolving role of technology in education. Her published works—including Other-Wise & School-Wise, Getting School-Wise, and ESL Activities for Every Month of the School Year—are widely praised for their practical guidance and accessible strategies. Her most recent book, Out of the Tub: President and Chief Justice William Howard Taft, further demonstrates her ability to educate through compelling storytelling. Carol continues to inspire educators and families alike through her blog, monthly newsletter, and educational workshops.
“My books, articles, and blog posts are designed to equip students with the tools they need to succeed academically, while supporting the vital efforts of parents and teachers,” Carol explains. “They also reflect my commitment to keeping readers informed about the changing landscape of American education, offering expert insight, trusted resources, and proven learning strategies.”
Carol attributes her success to a deep internal drive shaped early in life. Growing up feeling overshadowed by her sister instilled in her a determination to define her own path and prove her worth. It wasn’t until college that she fully recognized her capabilities, finding her voice and confidence in an environment that encouraged growth and self-discovery. That pivotal period marked a turning point, setting the foundation for the person and professional she has become. Guided by the belief that learning never stops, Carol embraces continuous growth at every stage of her career, viewing curiosity and openness as essential to long-term success.
In advising young women entering her field, Carol encourages them to follow their passions while allowing themselves the freedom to explore. She believes there is no need to have everything figured out from the start—experimenting with different paths often leads to unexpected opportunities and deeper fulfillment.
In her work, Carol is mindful of the evolving role of technology in education, particularly the growing use of AI in classrooms, which she sees as both an opportunity and a challenge if it creates distance between educators and students. Above all, she values joy, purpose, and authenticity in both her professional and personal life, believing that when work aligns with what one loves, meaningful impact and lasting success naturally follow.
Carol Josel embodies the spirit of innovation and dedication in education. As a champion for today’s children and a beacon of hope for a better tomorrow, she remains steadfast in her mission to make learning exciting and accessible. Whether mentoring student teachers or reaching a broad audience of parents and educators through her writing, Carol’s voice continues to resonate in the educational community.
