We envision schools where learning is irresistible.

We make this possible by partnering with school communities to create their shared vision and by providing professional learning and resources to make this vision a reality. Our work focuses on authentic instructional strategies that promote a sense of passion, purpose, agency, and community for students and teachers.

 

To that end, we partner with educators to co-create meaningful, high-impact professional learning experiences that reflect your school’s vision, goals, and values. Our work includes short- and long-term professional development, leadership and instructional coaching, curriculum redesign, and course experiences for optional graduate or contact hour credit. Whether you're seeking a system of support, help designing professional learning, or facilitation grounded in research and relevance, we’re here to collaborate.

“Emmy has a radiant energy and vivacious work ethic and understands how to build trust, create vision, engage others—she is a true model of servant and transformational leadership.”

— Stephanie, Ridgemont Agricultural Education Teacher, President OAAE

“As a result of this course, I hope to share my newly gained knowledge with colleagues next year as we plan collaboratively to engage our students in meaningful lessons. We are always striving to make learning more exciting and intriguing to students. When we have worked (authentic learning) into our learning blocks they were huge successes. I think those moments are the ones students remember and take with them further in their learning journeys. This course has definitely got the ball rolling for me and has pushed me to be more engaging, purposeful, and mindful in my classroom lessons and planning.”

 — Jeff, Teacher, Participant in Engaging Hearts and Minds

“Thank you for giving me the start when I needed it and keeping me going over the years. You make a difference in so many lives and mine is just one.”
