Margaret Krebs

Margaret has dedicated her career to designing educational programs that draw on real-world scenarios to promote change. Based at Stanford University’s Woods Institute for the Environment, Margaret coordinates the Center for Ocean Solution’s graduate marine education initiative - MARINE.  Margaret also currently works with Stanford’s Aldo Leopold Leadership Program, designing program modules for leadership, communications, policy and partnering, that enable academic environmental researchers to be effective leaders and communicators. 

Prior to joining the Leopold Leadership Program, Margaret managed two Stanford training grants to design new learning environments that integrated technology to support teaching and learning (STEP and SimTecT). At Stanford University Medical Media & Information Technologies (SUMMIT), she planned multiple training events, including facilitating a live surgery broadcast between Stanford clinicians and surgical residents in Sydney, Australia.

Margaret’s interest in teaching and learning developed while she was an undergraduate in innovative study programs at Earlham College and evolved further when she became a teacher designing a “school without walls” in Philadelphia. This background inspired her future work in developing programs to bring research and innovation to new audiences in diverse settings – from an early childhood research center in New Haven, Connecticut to Cisco Systems in Silicon Valley.
