Founder and Executive Director

Dr. Karin Holacka

As a former superintendent and district leader, I am keenly aware of how your day can quickly change directions and prevent you from addressing what matters most. BLUE Jean EC was started to be the go-to resource that you can call when you need someone to "lighten the load" and make your projects, plans, and professional learning needs happen.

As instructional leaders, the needs of our students must always come first. Therefore, it is my goal to be your right hand and support you in creating plans and professional learning opportunities that save you time and are customized to fit your needs. Then, you can focus on what matters most - student success.
