Teacher Professional Development

Professional learning

We are here to support educators. That means building opportunities that work with and for teachers. We design workshops that create impacts that last far beyond the date of the event. If you are looking for a safe and thoughtful community- you've found the right place. 

We focus on Core Teaching Practices, Place Based and Project Based Learning, and Design Thinking. By partnering with other leaders in education, we can connect teachers with the best practices and ideas to spark their teaching. 

Educational communities
