Educator Advisory Board

The Educator Advisory Board provides ongoing insight and strategic counsel to NaliniKIDS based on their individual experiences in schools and classrooms.

We value the opportunity to gain a diversity of perspectives about what's working, current challenges, and opportunities in schools. The insights we gather from this group inform how we continue to evolve our program offerings.
