We believe bold, new, learner-centered solutions and approaches are necessary to design both the learning experiences and systems that will equip our learners for the futures they deserve.

We believe the answers to the challenges education faces lie within the talents and expertise of all learners — children and adults. We believe time together to connect, share, learn and grow is one of the most promising solutions.

We believe in co-creating (with you!) a new learner experience - one rooted in what research tells us about the way humans learn. Our goal is to partner with you to design a new system, one that ignites joy, purpose and passion for everyone.

Students are ready.

Employers and communities are ready.

Let us partner with you to design experiences and systems for ALL learners.

The future is NOW.

We recognize that school, as most of us experienced it, is outdated at best and dangerously close to obsolete. The system was designed to meet the needs of the Industrial Age. Our world today is very different. In addition, the challenges schools and districts are facing - chronic absenteeism and a nation-wide teacher shortage -  are further evidence and urgent signals that it’s time for true change.

Our approach focuses on both the larger system and the classroom, recognizing that changes are necessary to transform day to day learning. Through our Five Key Transformations, we introduce the hallmarks of an updated student experience. Our collection of Simple Shifts can begin to create the learning environments that will truly equip our students for successful futures.

Let's collaborate! Join us as a Teacher Navigator, bring a team and join our Crew or just contact us! We'll work with you to create a plan that will lead to a very different - and much better - school experience for all learners. Imagine the shift from students sitting passively, waiting for the bell to ring, to becoming fully engaged in irresistible learning that they don’t want to leave!

CONNECTING CHANGE AGENTS

Join the Crew - our network of thoughtful, courageous innovators focused on creating a different student experience. Together, we will take deep dives into innovative practices and systems, collaborate with others across the state and country, learn through site visits, explore new school models, create solutions through rapid prototyping, design for both the system and classroom, share ideas and dream boldly.

IGNITING TEACHER LEADERS

Travel with us as a Teacher Navigator, a very special community of educators seeking to change the student experience. Through opportunities for authentic collaboration and networking, we will share ideas, learn together and find ways to support others who are also eager for change.

EMPOWERING DESIGN PARTNERS

We partner with teachers, principals, instructional coaches, and district leaders to to determine key steps along your transformation journey. From developing a Profile of a Learner to collaborating with you to determine the important moves necessary to bring that Profile to life each day, for every student, we will support you in reaching the transformations you seek.

EXTENDING THE WORK OF EXTERNAL PARTNERS

In districts collaborating with external partners, our team collaborates with those partners – and you – to help support implementation. We specialize in co-designing learning experiences, feedback tools, and support systems that seamlessly align with and enhance the outcomes of your valuable partnership. Join forces with us to elevate the impact of your collaboration and extend the success of existing partnerships.

book a connection

Book a Connection so that we might learn about your school or district, the work you are doing and the kind of change you are looking to create. We will then determine together if we are the right partners for you.

co-design your flightpath

We will seek to learn more deeply from your story, then ideate upon possibilities for creating the transformation you’re seeking.

Next, our team will design a flight path to share with you for feedback.

Through a series of design cycles, we will implement the co-designed plan alongside you, learning together and making adjustments as needed.
