CONSYLIUM is a research and advisory firm dedicated to supporting K–12 schools as they navigate the rapid rise of artificial intelligence in education. We specialize in building AI in Education Advisory Boards that provide year-round, peer-to-peer professional development designed specifically for teachers and school leaders, and in conducting empirical research on the benefits and risks of AI on teaching and learning.
Our guiding principle, “AI strategy for educators, by educators,” reflects our belief that those who truly understand the realities of the classroom are the ones best positioned to shape the future of AI in education. Members of our CONSYLIUM Network, all of whom are current or former educators, recognize the importance of balancing institutional values, pedagogical tradition, and technological innovation. We offer unparalleled, real-world expertise in designing learning environments, teaching strategies, and support structures that are practical, thoughtful, and firmly grounded in classroom experience.
Our work is informed by a proprietary AI Readiness Framework, and delivered through an innovative Partnership Model that ensures our school partners are learning from peers who have firsthand experience navigating AI in school environments. We are proud to partner with schools across the nation to help our peers meet the demands of this evolving educational landscape with confidence, clarity, and purpose.
ABOUT CONSYLIUM
J. Thomas Woelper
Head of School
Cheshire Academy
“At Cheshire Academy, we recognize that AI isn't coming to education — it's already here. That's why we've partnered with CONSYLIUM to ensure we're on our front foot in this transformative moment. What excites me most about this collaboration is working with advisors who are actual educators facing the same challenges we are. They understand the classroom realities, the institutional complexities, and most importantly, our responsibility to students. Together, we're building an AI strategy that's both innovative and grounded in our educational mission — one that empowers our faculty, engages our students responsibly, and positions Cheshire as a thoughtful leader in this new era.”
