Growing Ed Tech Consulting Firm Hires Experienced K-12 Educational Consultant

Knowing Technologies, a California-based consulting firm supporting schools with their complex technology programs, announces the hiring of Michael Smith as its instructional strategy consultant.  Mr. Smith most recently served as strategy officer for Modern Teacher, where he built and mantained close multiyear relationships to schools and districts, as well as designed and managed the execution of multiyear strategic plans focused on scaling personalized learning solutions in classrooms.  Mr. Smith holds a B.A. in History with a minor in Secondary Education, as well as a Masters of Public Policy from UC Berkeley.

The instructional strategy consultant is a new role for the company to help expand in the area of client strategy.

The instructional strategy consultant will be front and center in this process, working with both clients and several internal KT teams, on all aspects of the client strategy lifecycle.
