Invigorate Your Board
Governance Consulting for Schools
Effective governance is one of the most critical—and most misunderstood—drivers of school success. When done well, it looks effortless. But behind the scenes, it demands trust, humility, clarity, intention, and constant attention and cultivation.
At Educators Collaborative, we specialize in delivering customized governance services such as workshops, evaluations, committee structure consultations, orientations, reviews/audits, and more that elevate the effectiveness of school Boards and leadership teams. Grounded in best practices, decades of experience, and a deep understanding of independent schools, our services are designed to align your governance culture with your mission—and build a stronger future for your institution.
Tailored Excellence
No two schools are the same. We design every service, like a workshop, around the specific needs, culture, and goals of your institution.
Collaborative Partnership
We work side-by-side with Heads and Boards to build clarity around roles, legal obligations, and strategic responsibilities—fostering mutual respect and effective governance relationships.
Best Practices & Thought Leadership
We draw from NAIS Best Practices for Non-Profit School Boards, governance research, and real-world case studies to provide the most relevant, up-to-date guidance during our governance workshops and presentations.
Engagement & Impact
Our services are interactive and results-driven. We go beyond theory with the dynamic use of real case studies to help your team walk away with practical tools, actionable plans, and a renewed sense of purpose.
