EdVisions Team
Tracy Money
Executive DirectorIn 2005, Tracy founded and led an EdVisions small high school in a conservative school district in Washington State. This was one of the first project-based learning schools in Washington and it remains in successful operation today. That experience ensured ongoing action research in deeply personalized, self-directed learning, elevating Tracy’s expertise and determined advocacy for systemic change in public education. Selected as one of 25 leaders that formed the first cohort of Harvard University’s innovative Doctor of Education Leadership program, Tracy used that opportunity to hone skills in adult development, organizational development, and building infrastructure for sustainability and scale. She gets excited about empowering continuous improvement for individuals and schools, applying her skill with conducting program review, gathering and analyzing data, designing and facilitating professional development, and coaching others one-on-one..
In addition to the EdLD degree, Tracy holds a Bachelor’s in K-12 Education, a master’s degree in Curriculum Development, and principal certification. A curious and avid learner, Tracy’s career has centered around building programs that connect others to their own passion for learning. She has taught, designed, and led personalized learning programs at all levels K-16. Tracy has been a thought leader and essential partner for creative education initiatives across the country. No matter what the project, Tracy’s mantra is “Joy is an essential part of learning and laughter mixes naturally with serious discussion and hard work.”
