For Teachers.
For Change. For Joy.
Helping teachers reclaim the joy of teaching by sparking curiosity, creativity, and purpose in every classroom.
What do we do?
We provide relevant and contemporary resources when they’re needed. Our online professional learning and AI tool lesson builder address the needs of real teachers teaching right now.
Fixing the joy deficit
High-stakes testing, overly prescriptive curricula, and poor resourcing have stripped teachers of the joy that makes them powerful change makers. That’s why we make teaching tools to spark curiosity, creativity and purpose, because education is bigger than just academic outcomes. Read our 2024 Impact Research Report here.
