Ann Cummins Bogan,
Founder
Ann Cummins Bogan has worked in education for over 30 years. Ann began as a teacher and taught in both a large urban school district and a small suburban school district. As a teacher leader, Ann was active in many school and district initiatives and worked as a mentor to support new teachers. As the teacher co-chair on a district committee to design and implement a teacher evaluation system, Ann developed professional development focused on Charlotte Danielson’s Framework for Teaching.

This included focusing on a culture of collaboration and using professional standards as a driver for reflection and professional growth. Ann also provided leadership coaching and facilitated professional learning in schools and districts across the country. As a senior consultant for The Consortium for Educational Change, Ann implemented strategies to foster positive labor-management relations in districts and schools, and systems change focused on improving outcomes for students.
Ann’s partnerships are currently focused on establishing innovative strategies to achieve school and district goals in a climate of uncertainty and unprecedented strains on the profession. This includes support at all levels of the system, from the classroom to the central office.
