Karen Gray, M. Ed, MEA

​I have worked in public education since 1999, serving children in a variety of capacities, including classroom teacher, instructional coach and building  and central office administrator. As an Educational Consultant I use my years of experience and growth mind set to support families, administrators and educators to  purposefully promote  the  academic and social emotional development of children. When stress is reduced in children, and learning is engaging the brain synapses begin firing and then and only then does academic, social and emotional development occur in school and at home.  My research based training in executive functioning comes through Harvard University.  My expertise in understanding executive functioning  paired with a mastery understanding of designing purposeful learning, I work directly with adults to design, reflect and implement strategies that facilitate children’s growth.My expertise is in the area of supporting adults to design positive learning environments for children in school and at home. I focus on the systematic and operational change that needs to occur to ensure success for all.
