The Future of Education Starts Here

Change begins with courage.

Led by veteran educator Sara Easter, former President and Founder of Communications by Design, Inc., and systems strategist, Easter Consulting Group was founded to help districts move beyond surface-level tech adoption toward deep, meaningful transformation. We believe that artificial intelligence—when guided by human intention—can unlock new possibilities for every learner.

We help school leaders harness the power of AI (we prefer Ubiquitous Knowledge). We walk with educators to transform classrooms, empowering them to create personalized pathways for every student.

Leaders go first…

Leaders aren’t appointed—they’re defined by the courage to go first. At Easter Consulting Group, we walk alongside you as you make the bold, strategic decisions needed to transform your school or district into a model of personalized, future-ready learning.

  • We use technology to amplify human potential, designing solutions prioritizing every learner, educator, and leader's needs, dreams, and dignity.

  • We champion bold leadership grounded in courage, transparency, and a commitment to doing what’s right — not just what’s easy.

  • We believe true transformation happens at the system level. Our work focuses on building lasting, scalable, and meaningful change.

  • Every learner deserves a customized pathway to success. We are relentless in breaking down barriers and creating inclusive, equitable futures.

  • We collaborate with schools and organizations as trusted partners — listening first, co-creating solutions, and guiding the ethical use of artificial intelligence tools.

Plan it.

AI is more than a novelty. It’s not just about generating funny images or swapping your friend’s head onto a hotdog. When applied with intention and strategy, AI becomes a powerful catalyst for systemic improvement—reimagining how schools operate and, most importantly, rebuilding personalized learning pathways for every student.

At Easter Consulting Group, we help districts move beyond the hype to harness the full potential of ubiquitous knowledge available . AI can be both empowering and disruptive, challenging long-held assumptions about how we use instructional time and space. That disruption can be daunting—but it also opens the door to deeper learning and more meaningful engagement.

We will walk with you through every step of this journey—from selecting the right AI tools to analyzing formative assessment data and applying it strategically to rethinking classroom management practices. Together, we’ll navigate the barriers and unlock the true potential of AI-powered personalized learning.

Build it.

Easter Consulting Group, founded by longtime educator and visionary leader Sara Easter, exists to help schools reimagine what’s possible when personalized learning meets the power of artificial intelligence. We are a consulting firm dedicated to helping education systems unlock their full potential by responsibly, strategically, and humanely leveraging the tools of the 21st century.

After 33 years as founder and president of Communications by Design, Sara began her "second mountain" with a bold commitment: to help districts move beyond one-size-fits-all approaches and into a future where every student’s path is personalized and every educator is supported by purposeful, efficient technology.

We work side by side with district leaders, educators, and technology teams to design thoughtful, scalable systems for personalized learning—grounded in research, equity, and real classroom realities. Whether through keynote speaking, immersive field testing, or strategic consulting, our mission is to build capacity for lasting, systemic change.

At Easter Consulting Group, we believe innovation should serve people—not the other way around. And we’re here to walk with you as you build the future of learning.

Repeat it.

Transforming Practice, One Classroom at a Time
Our approach begins at the classroom level, working closely with a small group of pioneering teachers. We guide them through the responsible integration of AI—selecting tools that are age-appropriate, content-aligned, and instructionally relevant.

Through collaborative reflection with both educators and students, we evaluate the effectiveness of new strategies and make data-informed adjustments. This initial pilot phase lays the foundation for a broader cultural shift, building momentum and buy-in across the school or district.

Our goal is to cultivate a culture of innovation—one where every teacher is supported and encouraged to embrace change, reimagine their practice, and contribute to a system-wide transformation powered by ubiquitous knowledge.
