Who we are

We are educators, leaders, and advocates committed to helping schools, teachers, students, and families thrive. With firsthand experience in classrooms, curriculum design, and instructional leadership, we understand the real challenges educators and families face. Our work is grounded in research, driven by purpose, and shaped by the belief that one-size-fits-all solutions don’t work.

We provide practical, personalized support—whether it's designing standards-aligned curriculum, coaching teachers, supporting families through assessment and planning, or building systems that work. We believe that education should be empowering, inclusive, and innovative—and we're here to help make that a reality.

Meet the Founder

Nicole Borck, M.Ed.
Founder | Theory to Practice Educational Consulting

I believe every student, teacher, and parent deserves to feel seen, supported, and empowered. Too often, our education system values compliance over connection, leaving behind those who don’t fit into a one-size-fits-all model. I started Theory to Practice Educational Consulting to change that.

With over 17 years of experience in education—as a teacher, instructional coach, curriculum director, and educational consultant—I’ve seen the incredible difference individualized support can make. Whether it’s guiding a teacher through research-based practices that actually work, helping a struggling student rediscover their confidence, or equipping a parent with the tools to advocate for their child, I’ve made it my mission to bridge the gap between theory and practice in meaningful, actionable ways.

Every service I offer is built on the belief that growth happens when relationships, knowledge, and practical support come together. I work hand-in-hand with schools, families, and educators to create environments where students thrive, teachers grow, and parents partner in learning.
