Amy Moritz, M.Ed., Founder of Moritz Consulting, LLC
I started my career in public education, but I have taken a rather non-traditional career path over the last 28 years. I have looked at the two roads that have diverged and wanted to travel both….and, at various times in my career, I have. But the detours and less traveled paths, while exciting and educational, have all led me back to where I started my career – in education – where I belong. Those of us who are passionate about our work have a WHY that drives us and gets us out of bed in the morning. WHY do I do this work? Because I truly believe that education will change the world.
We have inherited an education system, however, that was designed based on the needs of the Industrial Revolution. That was a time in history where we needed graduates who could memorize, follow procedures, be neat and tidy and compliant. Those days are long gone and today, we need graduates with skills such as problem-solving, creativity, perseverance, and collaboration. We need communities filled with people who can honor and respect others who are different than they are; communities that celebrate and benefit from new and different ways of looking at old problems. We need a world filled with compassion – a place where we can all strive to be the best versions of ourselves and where we can be accepted just as we are.
In 2019, I launched Moritz Consulting, LLC with the goal of helping educational institutions become warm, welcoming, and supportive places that educate the whole child and prioritize relationships as much as the acquisition of academic content. I am honored to work with these types of institutions – the ones with visionary and brave leaders who want to change the educational experience for their students. I hope you will join me on this journey. It’s not an easy one and there are some bumps along the way, but the payoff is well worth the effort.
