Owner & Founder
Marilyn D. Gee, M.S. Ed, Educational Consultant & Thought Leader
I am an Edu-preneur!
I am a Professional Educator with over 20 years in the field of Education. My primary focus is on Critical Thinking and creating a community of fair-minded critical thinkers. My expertise in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment is supported by a Master's degree in Education. My expertise in Gifted Education is supported by an Academically or Intellectually Gifted (AIG) add-on certification to my Professional Educators Teaching License (expires 06/30/2026). I use my skills and expertise to be a Thought Leader in the field of Education. I present information. I provide consulting services. I mentor teachers and para educators. I am interested in collaborating with people and organizations whose mission, values, and expected outcomes are in alignment with mine.
After serving 20 years as a public school teacher and nearly 30 years in the field of Education; I am pivoting toward my purpose. The 2020 school year laid bare all of the most traumatic aspects of my beloved career. The transformation from traditional in-person instruction to 100% virtual and then into a hybrid format, allowed for a more authentic estimation of what it means to be an educator. As a result, I am now an educator turned into an Edu-preneur. I am a Thought Leader on a mission to foster fair-minded critical thinking skills across every learning domain and area of people activity.
