Our mission is to help educators, administrators, and students grow their practice and find encouragement to embrace failure, unknown, and challenge. American educational systems public, private, charter, elementary, secondary, and post-secondary are deeply intertwined and complex systems, rooted in the incredible American conviction that all students deserve an education. Connected Educational Consulting has the expertise to support learning across these contexts, age groups, and roles by providing training, co-thinking, and collaboration with the single goal in mind: help students grow their confidence, skills, convictions, to become creative, productive, passionate American citizens.
