Join our conversation
Meta consultants are constantly learning and sharing. When we are not working in the field, we read about cutting edge practices and curricula as well as opportunities and challenges faced by educational organizations.
Our blog is designed to share both what we are learning and what we are doing.
We meet regularly to share readings and ideas, challenge the status quo and provide tips from our consultants in action.
You can join us in our learning journey by reading this blog and adding your comments. We would love to have you share your ideas and engage with our professional community.
