Careers at Buckle Down


Letter from Our President


Dear Educator,  

For nearly 26 years, Buckle Down Publishing has been serving educators in communities around the country. In 1992, we recognized a widespread need for methods to prepare students for state tests, and shifted our focus from large-scale assessment to standards-based assessments tools. Since test prep is all we do, we can focus on our mission of providing you with the absolute best test-preparation available.

As a former educator myself, I have had the pleasure of teaching all ages, from kindergarten to post-graduate. Our editorial team has decades of collective experience in the education and testing fields, and we are pleased to bring expertise from the classroom into the development of effective, engaging test-preparation materials that help your students go above and beyond expectations on test day.

As an educator, you must meet the challenge of preparing your students for the rigorous state testing program. Our job is to help you succeed by providing you with workbooks and practice tests focused on your state's standards.  

Sincerely,

 


Dr. Thomas Emrick
President
