Here's Why People Call Us Year After Year!

Teaching is hard!

We know this because we are teachers...and administrators, guidance counselors, and specialists too. We are also life-long learners, uncovering and sharing the newest research and best practices with anyone who will listen!

Twenty-first century education is critical for the future of our nation!

We know this because we are community stake-holders. We live in the communities we serve -- many of us sending our children to the local school districts. We see the effects of inequities and are committed to using our skills to level the playing field.

We are different!

We are a unique collaborative team of experts who are outcome-driven, offering personalized services for your school….professional development your way! We are not a huge publishing company selling a product, nor are we a one-man show with limited resources. We are constructivists focused on helping teachers implement best practices.
