About: Karen Hawley Miles




Profile:
Karen Hawley Miles is president and executive director of Education Resource Strategies. Karen founded ERS and oversees ERS’s work with urban districts to realign resources to create systems that make high-performing schools the norm rather than the exception. This work has two major components: partnering with urban districts to deeply analyze their resource use and then working side-by-side with them to change the district’s resource strategies in ways that improve school performance. ERS focuses especially on helping districts to redesign their funding systems; create new schools that organize talent, time, and technology to maximize learning; restructure teaching to encourage individual and team effectiveness; and develop powerful school turnaround strategies.
