Advisory Board

The SchoolRubric Advisory Board is a group of diverse, passionate educational leaders from around the world that help guide our strategic objectives by building upon strengths, identifying opportunities, and facilitating connections. In order to have continuity and a plan of succession, advisory board members typically commit to 1-2 year terms. The expertise and composition of the advisory board membership reflect SchoolRubric’s commitment to incorporate a variety of backgrounds and voices in our strategic development process on a global scale.
