International Education Consultant
I'M
Kristi Dawn Riggs.
01 CONSULTING SERVICES
From complex education priorities to usable policies, frameworks, and implementation plans.
I work with governments, UN agencies, NGOs, universities, and research institutions on assignments that require careful research, stakeholder input, and practical institutional design.
My work is especially suited to conflict-affected, displacement, and low-resource settings where policies and programs must account for both institutional requirements and lived realities.
POLICY & FRAMEWORK DESIGN
Education policies, professional standards, competency frameworks, institutional guidance, and implementation structures designed for national and organizational use.
Typical deliverables:
Policy reviews, competency frameworks, standards, indicators, guidance documents, and validation reports.
RESEARCH & STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION
Qualitative and desk-based research organized around the decisions an institution needs to make.
Typical deliverables:
Evidence reviews, interview and focus group protocols, stakeholder consultations, qualitative analysis, and research reports.
CURRICULUM & LEARNING SYSTEMS
Curricula, learning outcomes, assessments, educator materials, and instructional systems designed for the people and settings in which they will be used.
Typical deliverables:
Curriculum frameworks, training programs, facilitator guides, learning outcomes, rubrics, and assessment plans.
IMPLEMENTATION PLANNING
Practical plans that help institutions move from an approved policy or framework to adoption and use.
Typical deliverables:
Implementation roadmaps, phased work plans, governance structures, monitoring indicators, pilot plans, and risk analysis.
