Designing Teacher Innovation Programs

Expertise in Teacher Innovation – We specialize in creating pathways that unlock teacher creativity and leadership.
Bridge for Organizational Impact – Your organization has subject-matter expertise; we translate it into structured, teacher-led initiatives.
Sustainable Change – Our programs embed innovation in-house, empowering teachers beyond one-off workshops.

Through our work, we design and facilitate:

Action Academies – immersive, hands-on experiences for teachers to prototype and launch projects.
Educator Hubs – peer-led communities for collaboration and ongoing learning.
Accelerators & Incubators – structured cohorts where teachers scale and deepen innovation.
Custom Programs – tailored pathways aligned with your organization’s mission and theme.

We partner to create thematic or regional Challenge Funds and Accelerators aligned with important issues, including:

Discovery & Design – We start with a call to understand your goals, team, and impact vision.
Co-Create the Program – Together, we design an academy, hub, accelerator, or challenge fund that fits your needs.
Launch & Facilitate – We run the program and provide ongoing support for teacher cohorts.
Measure & Scale – We gather feedback, monitor impact, and help you scale.

Past Programming

We create learning experiences that facilitate dialogue, creative problem solving, and innovation. We believe giving people the power to do something is the best way to facilitate change and empower others to act.

We design our events based on the needs of the school or client. We have formats to engage participants in a challenge of choice so that they might co-create solutions or design personalized projects. Reach out to learn more and discuss your needs.
Hackathons - These are fast paced events that blend together brainstorming techniques, collaboration, and co-creation. This format works best for larger groups working towards a similar challenge.

Workshops - Our workshops are meant for small groups designing personalized projects. Through a mix of skill-building and coaching we ensure participants create strategic projects or initiatives with a focus on successful implementation and impact.

Implementation Sprints - We provide ‘follow through’ workshops that complement other events, workshops, or speaking engagements. Our goal with these workshops is to enable participants to do something with new ideas and apply learning.

We all want participants to be able to use our ideas and apply our content. What does that look like in action?
We help you design workshops or trainings that engage users and help them to apply learning. Teachers often face barriers (compliance, assessment, etcetera) that prevent them from implementing new ideas. We work to help educators overcome these obstacles so they can make new idea come to life in the classroom.
Our goal is to help you best support and develop others so they might engage in your content in a way that is meaningful and authentic. We work with you to understand your needs and desired outcomes. From there we work together to co-create learning experiences to help others act on your ideas and implement change.

We create opportunities for educators to implement great ideas. It’s not enough to talk about new concepts or changes in education, we must create opportunities for action. This requires devoting space, time, and resouces for educators to implement ideas in a way that works for their context and students.
Get in touch with us to explore how we might launch an accelerator or design an incubator to support teachers as they turn ideas into real experiences and opportunities for students.
As former teachers with experience in the social startup space, we understand both the process of innovation and the nuances of the education space that might prevent change. For those reasons, we have a creative approach for engaging and empowering educators in new initiatives grounded in entrepreneurial thinking. We understand the blindspots that hold back the many potential innovators we have in the education space and work with you to unlock that potential.

Just as our startup inspired tools take into account the whole person, we know that transformation requires trust, shifts in mindset and culture, as well as changes to systems. It’s not easy work, but together we can create systems where all educators feel engaged and empowered to be their best, which is the best way we can support our students.
