Dr. Jered Borup, Associate Professor, George Mason University

“I don't know of anyone who is more connected with researchers, practitioners, and other stakeholders in the field of K-12 online and blended learning than Consult4Ed Group. I first met Kathryn when I was a new scholar in the field. She took an interest in the work I was doing and began providing me with opportunities to better serve the field in various capacities. Over the last five years, Kathryn has had a huge impact on my career. I'm far from unique in this regard and I have seen many scholars benefit from their association with Kathryn. Kathryn's network combined with her personal expertise makes her especially qualified to address complex issues surrounding online and blended learning. I highly recommend that those who are interested in improving online and blended learning start by working with and through Kathryn and her team at the Consult4Ed Group.”

Yana Athenian, Founder, ShivaShakti School of Yoga and Healing Arts

“Consult4Ed Group worked with us to enhance our yoga teacher training school. They guided us on best practices for setting up an online course option. Not only did we get more students from outside the local area, but we began to also build an online community that includes local and global students so that our teachings are not limited by geographic location. It has also brought access and equity to those who wouldn't be able to travel for longer periods of time as well as those who couldn't take time off from work and/or be away from family. For us as teachers, it has provided us more flexibility in our work and travel. Consult4Ed Group is industrious and innovative in their profession. They really take the time to build a rapport with clients and develop an understanding of their goals.”
