Jonathon Allen
Director of Studies, History and Social Sciences Instructor, Marlborough School
“I found the ConnectED team to be extremely supportive and flexible to be able to meet our school's needs. They were knowledgeable and always sought to expand students' abilities to engage in difficult conversations about the various material they covered.”
Jonathan Lowenstein
Dean of Curriculum and Academic Freedom, The Birch Wathen Lenox School

Educator
Wildwood School
“The sessions were thoughtfully designed, skillfully facilitated, and provided our team with a safe and structured space to engage in complex and often sensitive discussions… The feedback from our educators has been overwhelmingly positive. ConnectED has proven to be a highly professional, responsive, and mission-driven partner.”
Valerie Khaytina

“I've gained access to many useful resources (people and materials). The resources are excellent and inspiring. They are a testament to what's possible.”
Jaimi Boehm
Associate Head of School, Wildwood School
“The webinars were superbly thought-out, striking a balance between introductory framing without sacrificing nuance, and without making anyone present feel that one viewpoint was being advanced at the cost of other valid perspectives. These provided both the expertise of ConnectED’s staff as well as a chance to share best practices and common struggles.”
Owen Boynton
Director of Professional Development and Student Support, Collegiate School
