AUSSIE

AUSSIE consultants are a team of over 200 professional educators with decades of experience as teachers, coaches, administrators, curriculum planners, and professors. The depth and breadth of this experience allows AUSSIE to assist at all levels of the education system - all the way from administrators to parents - by bringing practical, hands-on experience to our consultancy work.

Our consultants bring a global perspective to their work as they help our schools incorporate best practices from around the world. Most AUSSIE consultants have worked in educational communities outside the US, whether in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Africa, or Europe. These experiences enable our consultants to bring a global perspective as they help in supporting our partner organizations incorporate best practices from around the world. With AUSSIE’s commitment to ongoing, supportive, job-embedded professional development, teachers, coaches, principals, and district administrators benefit from this global perspective as they work with our consultants side-by-side in their schools.

For professional development services to have a positive impact on student achievement, consultants need to have the expertise to lead others in the process of change. AUSSIE consultants have this expertise. Our consultants are selected on the basis of their extensive experience in school improvement and curriculum expertise that includes:

• a strong theoretical, content, and pedagogical knowledge
• the ability to collect, analyze, and effectively use data to bring about change
• the ability to plan their time strategically and document their work in a professional manner
• the ability to establish positive relationships and partnerships
• the ability to identify and challenge practices and ideology that create barriers to learning.
