Network & Focus Areas

CONSYLIUM Network

The CONSYLIUM Network is composed of current and former teachers, administrators, scholars, and academic researchers who were recruited specifically because they have a demonstrated track record of designing learning environments, pedagogical approaches, and policies that equip K–12 educators to navigate the growing influence of artificial intelligence with intention and strategy.

Membership is reserved ONLY for educators who have firsthand classroom experience navigating AI in school environments, as well as scholars whose academic research focuses on the impacts of AI on teaching, learning, and early childhood development. This enables us to offer authentic, peer-to-peer support to the faculty at our partnering schools, and to uphold our guiding principle: AI strategy for educators, by educators.

Members of the CONSYLIUM Network represent some of the nation’s top educational institutions, including, but not limited to:

(K-12): Choate Rosemary Hall, The Lawrenceville School, The Loomis Chaffee School, Phillips Academy Andover, Pomfret School, Princeton Day School

(Colleges & Universities): Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania, UCLA, USC, University of Michigan, Teacher’s College

“Working with CONSYLIUM is incredibly fulfilling, and there's a great sense of accomplishment in connecting with peers at other schools. They always get the right people in the room at the right time, and the strategic alignment has been perfect. It allows me to leverage my full skill set to support peers seeking counsel, and CONSYLIUM makes it all happen seamlessly and efficiently.”
