AI can assist. Humans must decide. Dr. Sherry Crocker helps education leaders understand the difference and lead accordingly.

Dr. Crocker is an educational leader, AI consultant, author, and founder of EDGE AI Enterprises, LLC, and E.D.G.E. Leadership™. With more than two decades across classrooms, universities, instructional systems, and school leadership, she brings a rare combination of practical wisdom, strategic insight, and deep commitment to human-centered transformation.

Her work sits at the intersection of education, leadership, technology, and organizational change. Through her E.D.G.E. Leadership™ framework — Empower, Design, Grow, and Evolve — she helps leaders move beyond reaction and toward intentional, ethical, and sustainable systems of practice.

In Governing AI in K–12 Schools: The EDGE Framework, Dr. Crocker speaks directly to the leaders in the room when the hard decisions get made — superintendents, principals, district teams, and boards. Her message is clear: governance is not about fear or control. It is about clarity, trust, responsibility, and protecting the people schools are called to serve.

She writes from lived experience as an educator, administrator, technologist, consultant, and lifelong advocate for students, teachers, and communities. Her voice is reflective, practical, and purpose-driven — offering leaders both the courage to act and the tools to lead wisely.

Leadership is both an art and a responsibility. Every system can be designed with greater intention, humanity, and hope.

Purpose begins at the Edge.
