Elizabeth Haughton has, for over 30 years, devoted her professional life to providing children and adults with programs that guarantee learning success. Combining teaching with science Elizabeth works with students who need development of their visual, auditory, language and motor processing systems. She has operationalized and honed the ground breaking work of Eric Haughton, which demonstrated that learning rates accelerate once a student obtains a certain optimum level of fluency in the basic component skills of reading, math, and other academic areas.

In Elizabeth's work student fluency levels are measured after which instructional procedures and learning materials are designed and applied to increase skills to required levels. Precision Teaching, a unique and highly effective measurement system, is used to quantify fluency levels and then employed to monitor and predict student progress allowing teachers to offer highly individualized courses of instruction at optimum rates of learning. Attainment of fluency in foundation skills leads to the improved retention, greater endurance, and ease of application to new unpracticed materials.

Elizabeth has trained numerous educators and parents on how to identify a child's strengths and needs, determine how best a child's performance can match his/her potential, and then implement and measure highly efficient learning programs. She has repeatedly demonstrated, that with consistent, dedicated instruction, ongoing measurement, well designed practice materials and the student's involvement in decision making, learning success is possible for anyone.

In addition to fifteen years of teaching students in public schools, both in the United States and Canada, Elizabeth has been for the past fifteen years director and a learning specialist at the Haughton Learning Center. She has also been an educational consultant to schools and agencies, a professional teacher trainer, and is the author of several Precision Teaching and fluency-building instructional programs, including Phonological Coding, Rapid Automatic Naming, Mathematics Tool Skills, and Handwriting. Having consulted with Morningside Academy for over ten years she is also currently consults with schools in California, Wisconsin, and New Hampshire.
