Hi
I’m Abby, an Education Professional, Change Facilitator, and Big Dreamer.
I’m Dr. Abby Andres, an education consultant with decades of experience helping states, school districts, and organizations navigate complex education policy, assessment systems, and instructional improvement efforts. My career has spanned leadership roles in state agencies, research institutions, education technology companies, and education service organizations, giving me a deep understanding of how policy, research, and practice intersect.
I specialize in education policy, accountability systems, research and evaluation, communication and dissemination, and leadership development, with a particular focus on innovation and capacity-building for state agencies, districts and schools. I’ve worked across multiple levels—state, vendor, and local—to help agencies design and implement effective, research-based solutions that drive meaningful outcomes for students and grow business.
Whether you need strategic guidance, research-based insights, or hands-on support in building internal capacity, I bring a pragmatic, results-driven approach that helps education leaders turn challenges into opportunities.
My Approach
I believe that the best solutions are practical, research-driven, and tailored to the unique needs of each client. My approach is rooted in three core principles:
Collaborative & Client-Centered
I work alongside your team to understand your challenges, strengths, and goals. Every engagement is built around your specific context, ensuring that recommendations are realistic and actionable.

Research-Informed, Practice-Driven Capacity-Building for Sustainable Change
With a strong foundation in research and policy, I help organizations bridge the gap between theory and real-world implementation. I provide data-informed strategies that are feasible in the day-to-day realities of schools and agencies.
Capacity-Building for Sustainable Change
Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, I focus on empowering teams with the knowledge, tools, and processes needed to sustain improvements long after my engagement ends.
