AI Implementation Coaching for K-12 Leaders.

AI is a leadership change as much as it is a technology change.

True Nexus Consulting LLC specializes in helping K12 leaders adopt AI purposefully by balancing innovation and duty of care. We do that by building three things:

  • AI Governance Capability: We work with you to develop principles, processes, and resources that equip you to ask sharper questions, make sound decisions, and think systemically about AI.

  • Implementation Clarity: We build your confidence to lead others, even while you are still learning yourself. 

  • Change Leadership Capacity: We help you align AI adoption with your community's values and strategic priorities so your community moves forward together.

Most of the leaders we work with arrive somewhere in here...

AT THE
STARTING LINE

"I know we need to get moving on AI, but it is moving so fast and I'm not sure where to start."

TRANSLATING PAPER TO
PRACTICE

"We have a policy that has been approved by our school board but our day to day practice hasn't changed."

FOCUSED ON PEOPLE CHANGE

"We have some early adopters mixed with a lot of resistance about AI."

NOTICING PRE-AI CHALLENGES

"The deeper we get into our conversations about generative AI, the more we see gaps that existed long before it arrived."

QUESTIONING AI GOVERNANCE

"We are building generative AI literacy, but how do we build a system for managing and making decisions about AI?" 

Sound familiar?

This is the work, and it isn't work you have to do alone. We begin wherever you are, build capability together, and test what works before you scale it. 

Hi, I'm Julie.

I have spent more than 20 years as a classroom teacher, school administrator, change leadership coach, and consultant, and remain in the classroom today. Since ChatGPT was released in November 2023, I have worked alongside roughly one hundred learning communities to support AI implementation readiness, coached principals to lead conversations on academic integrity and responsible use, and helped develop generative AI course content on rethinking assessment, policy, and adoption strategy, taken to date by more than 600 educators across 30 countries. 

I am a certified AI governance officer and believe deeply in striking a balance between innovation and responsibility. I stand ready to help you and your leadership team navigate AI change with clarity, confidence and care.

"Julie served as lead consultant for PEA2K, MassCUE's initiative helping districts build AI capacity in teaching and learning. During the SY 2025-2026 Julie led the 1:1 mentoring and facilitated the district modules for all 14 Year 1 district teams. 
Julie has a gift for meeting diverse teams where they are. She guided districts throug a framework for systemic change with clarity and patience, helping them implement AI foundational outcomes with intention and confidence. Our districts loved working with her and PEA2K's strong Year 1 outcomes reflect that. 
We look forward to continuing to work with Julie in the new school year as we bring on a new cohort of district teams. I'd recommend Julie without hesitation to any organization looking to guide educators through meaningful, lasting change."
