Learning RedesignED partners with K-12 leaders navigating complex systems change.

Educational transformation requires more than good ideas. It demands practical frameworks, research-backed strategies, and support from people who've actually done this work. With nearly 20 years of experience leading organizations and developing schools, we specialize in helping districts, county offices, and educational organizations tackle the challenges that matter most: integrating AI responsibly, building effective MTSS systems, implementing Science of Reading practices, and developing leaders who can sustain change.

Our approach combines rigorous research with real-world experience. We don't offer cookie-cutter solutions. We help you build strategic systems that work in your context, with your team, for your students.

Heather Gold, Ed.D.

Schools opened doors for me that generational poverty tried to keep shut. Every student deserves that same chance. I partner with leaders who refuse to accept inequity as a reality and are committed to redesigning systems so opportunity is not accidental, but intentional.

As Chief Learning Officer at a charter management organization, Heather oversees learning, systems, and accountability across nine TK-12 schools serving 6,000 students. She's the founder of Learning RedesignED and serves as the K-12 representative on the National Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Society.

With 20 years leading across traditional public schools, charter schools, and diverse models including hybrid, independent study, virtual, and home learning programs, Heather brings a systems-level perspective shaped by real implementation. She holds an Ed.D. in Organizational Leadership and specializes in AI integration, MTSS redesign, Science of Reading implementation, and leadership development. She's also an instructor for new teachers and mentor to administrators.

She's co-author of Leading AI in Schools: Your K-12 Roadmap When You Don't Have All the Answers, a LETRS facilitator, and a trusted advisor to districts and county offices navigating complex change. Her approach is direct, practical, and grounded in what actually works, not what sounds good in a slide deck.

Based in Auburn, California, Heather balances leading transformation with gardening, paddle boarding, and hanging out with her husband and Bengal cat.
