Hi 👋🏻

I’m Daniel Scibienski, founder of Lantern and Map.

Chapter #1: Educator

For 15 years, I worked as an educator, consultant, and trainer. In the classroom, I taught English Learners from around the world. My students ranged in age from 5 to 85. At the core of my teaching was a focus on simplicity and empathy, a dedication to finding the clearest way to communicate often complex ideas. Imagine reading Romeo and Juliet in a second language. I also helped found two dual language programs, organized conferences, spoke nationally, and contributed to a best-selling instructional textbook.

Chapter #2: Marketer

About 10 years ago seeking challenges outside of the classroom, I moved into the world of marketing. There, alongside countless new opportunities for learning and growth, many of the skills from the classroom found a new home.

As the first product marketing manager at Ellevation Education, I played a pivotal role in bringing two new instructional products to market. Now as Senior Product Marketing Manager at Newsela, I focus on bringing impactful products to thousands of educators and millions of students across the U.S. Focus and storytelling have been essential for success.

Chapter #3: Guide

My journey has given me the chance to understand the unique challenges of upskilling and change Now, I combine my experiences in a powerful way - using proven coaching techniques from education to help marketers and sales people turn concepts into outcomes. 

I founded Lantern and Map to provide a personalized, focused approach to modern marketing challenges and to work with great, inspired people.
