Over the course of my 25 year career as an educator, I've worked in every imaginable school setting; pre-k through Masters level; private, public, charter; teacher, curriculum coordinator, technology director, field supervisor, and accreditation evaluator. My content areas of specialty include language acquisition, Spanish, English, ELL/SIOP, and technology integration. I know the inner and outer workings of schools; the effects of federal, state, and local mandates, curriculum design, budget/union constraints and trends.
My business background began 15 years ago when I moved home to Grand Rapids, MI. No lack of teachers at that time, I took a job as part-time membership coordinator at the West Michigan Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Working alongside then Executive Director, Carlos Sanchez, I helped increase membership by 15% and was introduced to the world of business. I assisted in developing and facilitating workshops with the MiSBTDC related to start-ups and general small business challenges, planned and organized Chamber events from lunch & learns, to golf-outings and galas, managed the Website and tracked individual memberships and corporate sponsorships.
These two worlds came together when I finished my MA in Technology and Curriculum design and moved from teaching to coordinating technology integration in schools. I found myself applying many of the business development strategies I'd learned at the Chamber in my work at GRPS and later the Diocese of Grand Rapids as Trainer and Director of Ed Tech. I built a brand for our program, an effective marketing strategy for a broad range of customers (parents, students, teachers, and administrators), created training, presentations, web-sites, and blogs, collected and interpreted data, and participated in advocacy at the local and state level.
This unique skill set and diverse experience is now Carol Glanville Consulting. I'm ready to assist both schools and small business in achieving their goals with a variety of affordable resources and programming that. Contact me today for a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss how we can partner to effectively improve your organization, business, school, or classroom.
