Report Summary
Maker Education
Now that you HAVE a makerspace, what are you going to DO with it?Making as a discipline offers schools a unique opportunity to put students in charge of their own learning. Design thinking provides a framework for “purposeful making” – making that matters – because it inspires students to generate solutions to real-world problems. Linking design & making in this way empowers learners to create their own knowledge and establishes a relevance that, individually, each area of study otherwise lacks.
Design Thinking
(a.k.a. Human-Centered Design or HCD)Design Thinking / HCD is a methodology being used by businesses, organizations (including leading brands such as IBM, Target, SAP, Proctor and Gamble and Intuit) as well as collaborative teams all over the world. It is being taught at leading universities including Stanford and Harvard. Why all the hype? Design Thinking is a way to rapidly develop innovative solutions to problems grounded in the deep understanding of an end user’s needs. Bringing design thinking into an organization will ignite transformation, engagement, and impactful change moving forward.

TESTIMONIALS
I am excited about having dedicated leadership and an experienced team in IT while at the same time integrating them with all our academic and operational departments.
— Michele Clays, Head of School, Langley School in Virginia, Web ClientEllen’s work is always well-received by teachers and principal practitioners alike. Her unique approach to human-centered design provides the nascent-to-expert creators and innovators with practical tools to bring unearthed ideas to light. Ellen speaks in a universal language that all teachers hear.
— Dr. Kaleb Rashad, High Tech High (HTH) Director of Creative LeadershipThe final report delivery got school leadership on the same page with priorities and specific areas that needed focus. We’ve made more progress in the past month as a team than tech alone has made in a year and a half. It’s incredibly cost-effective for small schools and delivers an understandable dashboard with actionable work plans to resolve deficient areas.
— Brian Horton, Duke School (NC)Working with Mary helped our team reimagine ways to connect to and understand our end-users more deeply. Through undergoing intensive design thinking training, we were able to strengthen our needfinding and empathy driven work around parenting and nutrition. Mary made a lasting impact in our efforts to help raise healthier families.
— Lisa Y. Sharp, Manager, Wellness Marketing, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (GA)Whether new to Design Thinking or a seasoned pro, Ellen provides something to learn for everyone! She made me laugh, she made me think, and she even made me do a little dance. I know I’m a better empathizer and ideater because of her workshop.
— Dr. Laura Spencer, Executive Director of Innovation and Design, Del Mar Union School District, CATeachers walked away with a solid understanding, strategies, and ideas on how to facilitate Design Thinking among their students. Design Thinking is also about the mindsets and Kevin is certainly helping us reach our transformational leadership goals. We're looking forward to working with him again!
— Adam Lindstrom, Supervisor of Instructional Technology, Marlboro Township Public Schools, NJMary Cantwell accelerated our growth as a school through her support of design thinking with our staff and our students. Mary has the rare ability to simplify complex concepts and methodologies so that everyone -from preschoolers to adults- has an entry point to be successful.
— Steve Saunders, Principal, Albemarle County Public School (VA)Ellen is at the top of the class in leading workshops that equally inspire and engage her audiences. Participants walk away with activities, strategies, and skills that can be used in their work immediately - regardless of their role.
— Dr. Eric Chagala, Founding Principal Vista Innovation Academy (VIDA), CA & Co-Founder #DesignCamp for EducationInvesting in a consultant is one of the most important decisions a school leader can make. Kevin’s dedication, passion, and vast experience has helped transform my district into a Design Thinking leader, and made me a better leader in my school community.
— Glenn Robbins, Superintendent, Tabernacle School District, Tabernacle, NJHaving a set of unbiased eyes look over the data and find trends that we missed was invaluable. The themes that were discovered and discussed are really going to help us guide larger conversations about the intersection of pedagogy and practice. On the operations side, low hanging fruit came to light that will improve everyone’s experience with technology.
— Peter Antupit, Chief Information Officer, Crystal Springs Uplands SchoolThrough my experiences as a consultant with Educational Collaborators, I am able to work with amazing educators, administrators, and technology leaders around the world. Knowing that I am able to provide training and guidance that potentially impacts teaching and learning for so many teachers and students is an incredibly rewarding experience!

JULENE REED, Senior Collaborator with Educational Collaborators and Director of Academic Technology of St. George’s School
Educational Collaborators is more than just a consulting firm. It is a community of high caliber educators with deep experience who deliver customized work. I know that I can call upon my fellow collaborators to help creatively and efficiently tackle any challenge. EC is a full-service consulting group that can address the complex needs of schools and I thoroughly enjoy working my colleagues at EC because they truly understand schools and seek to find the best personalized solutions for clients

LUCY GRAY, Senior Collaborator and Founder of Global Education Conference
Working with Educational Collaborators has been a tremendously valuable experience for our school district. As part of a comprehensive school technology needs assessment, EC spoke with every member of our Educational Technology department and district leadership team to gain a deep understanding of our current operations. Utilizing that information along with our vision for digital learning, EC was able to provide our team a comprehensive plan tailored to our goals and resources designed to maximize effectiveness. We recommend their services to any school district looking to shift from a print to digital environment.
Educational Collaborators has helped transform our teaching and learning at our school. They put a comprehensive plan together to help meet our educational goals. Every Educational Collaborator team member assigned to our school is a guru in their field.
I always state that one of the best things I love about EC is that they customize training to accommodate the customers goal and customize down to the proficiency level of each teacher. This is high value add for my customers.
