Kyle Cornforth

Since 1999, Kyle has trained teachers from all over the world on how non-traditional education experiences are essential to truly prepare students for their lives on this planet, with the belief that teachers, administrators, and schools need to adapt their practices to the shifting world. To this end, she worked within a nascent field to build shared practice and professionalism to ensure equity and cultural relevance are foundational to program delivery at the Edible Schoolyard Project in Berkeley, CA. Kyle built ESYP’s internationally renowned training programs and communities of practice. These programs provide training for leadership, teacher practice and pedagogy, communications, program development, and resource sharing. As the Executive Director of Maker Ed, Kyle holds clear communication, accountability, and feedback in all directions of an organization as vital to ensuring an organization can fulfill its mission. She loves to dance, cook, and hang out with her family.
