✎Our People
Our Expertise
The Educator Collaborative is a K-12 literacy think tank and educational consulting organization on working to innovate the ways educators learn together. We aim to serve children and the adults who teach, learn, and grow alongside them. We believe there is no greater professional development than hands-on-practice and conversation in the company of engaged educators.
We provide on-site, standards-aligned, literacy professional development services to schools, districts, national conferences, local reading councils, and universities. This includes speaking services and site-based professional development.
Our network of literacy consultants all hold a wide array of positions in education: classroom teachers, coaches, district leaders, authors, and professors. They are dynamic, driven, decorated, skilled, passionate about children and our profession, and hold the potential and promise for even greater impacts. They are specially selected to consult through the organization and once joined, have an opportunity to interact in this dynamic community of practice.
The Educator Collaborative is a place for this dynamic and diverse team of literacy consultants to come together to share ideas, develop bonds, and take up the work of changing classrooms to better our children.
What brings us together is a passion for innovation, a background in education, and a belief in children and our profession.

About our Learning Network
Our network of literacy consultants are also active members of our TheEdCollab Think Tank, our internal professional learning groups that study, research, share, and develop cutting edge literacy practices and mindsets together. It is this dedicated, collaborative learning that keeps us on the leading edge of global literacy practice and grounded in today’s education landscape. Our work is woven from the fabric of our learning community and draws on the expertise and experiences of our network.
Fellows
Fellows are distinguished members of our Think Tank. They are veteran educators who bring with them a wealth of experiences and roles across literacy education. Throughout our history, some of the most influential voices in literacy education have been part of our Fellowship. Fellows help shape our work and vision while also further developing their own pedagogy and scholarship. Fellows also provide literacy consulting and speaking services through The Educator Collaborative.
Book Ambassador
Our Book Ambassadors provide particular expertise to the organization and our members on new and upcoming titles, connections with authors and publishers, and build special learning opportunities throughout the year. Our Book Ambassadors are available for consulting, speaking, and provide support to schools developing text collections.
