Leadership Team

Folio Collaborative was founded by a team of educators committed to the mission of developing the best possible system for enhancing faculty and staff growth and learning in schools. Our leadership team is ready to work with you to implement a comprehensive plan designed to meet your unique needs.

Meredith Monk Ford
Executive Director

Meredith Monk Ford

Meredith is the Executive Director of Folio Collaborative and guides the organization’s support for its 150+ member schools.

Meredith was an independent school classroom teacher and coach, first at the Bryn Mawr School (her alma mater) and then at McDonogh School, both in Baltimore. At McDonogh, Meredith was also a grade level administrator and chaired a task force to enhance professional growth opportunities for faculty. When McDonogh received a grant from the E.E. Ford Foundation to develop a professional growth and learning process that additional schools could use, Folio Collaborative was created and Meredith transitioned to become Executive Director.

Meredith’s passion for school leadership and managing the process of change in educational institutions shows through her Folio management. She visits and meets virtually with Folio members around the country to lead seminars, train administrators and teachers, and facilitate conversations around professional growth, leadership and feedback.

Meredith received her BA from the University of Maryland and a master’s degree in Liberal Arts from the Johns Hopkins University. She earned a second master’s degree in School Leadership at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
