SCHOOL & DISTRICT PARTNERSHIPS
Learning grows through connection.
We partner with schools and districts to connect classroom instruction, professional learning, and family engagement. Our work is grounded in how children learn and shaped by the people who support them.
Connect what matters for learning.
OUR PURPOSE
Our purpose is to strengthen the connections among people, ideas, and practices so children’s learning builds across classrooms, grade levels, and home.
That purpose rests on interdependence: educators, leaders, and families each bring knowledge the others need. We help schools put those strengths into conversation and connect research, curriculum, and everyday practice.

TWO THREADS, ONE PURPOSE
Build a shared understanding of learning among educators, invite families into the conversation, or bring both Threads together around a school priority.
Professional learning for educators
The Teaching Thread
Connect how learning happens with how you teach.
Bring instructional decisions together around a shared understanding of learning. Explore clear explanations, purposeful practice, and responsive support through work connected to your curriculum.
How learning happens & explicit instruction
Vocabulary, reading comprehension & literacy across disciplines
Executive function in the classroom
Family learning · Hosted by schools
The Home–School Thread
Bring home and school into the same conversation.
Connect educators’ knowledge of teaching with families’ knowledge of their children. Host welcoming workshops with practical ideas parents and caregivers can adapt to everyday life.
How children learn—and how to help
Growing vocabulary together
Supporting executive function at home
Start with one Thread or connect the two through a shared focus on learning, vocabulary, or executive function.
MAKE THE CONNECTIONS PRACTICAL.
OUR APPROACH
Start with your context.
Listen to your questions, understand your curriculum, and identify the strengths and priorities of your school community.
Connect ideas to practice.
Use clear explanations, demonstrations, and opportunities to try, discuss, and adapt what participants are learning.
Build on what happens next.
Plan for application. In ongoing partnerships, revisit the work, examine evidence of learning, and refine the next steps together.
A partnership shaped around your school.
WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
Begin with a focused workshop, develop a connected series, or plan ongoing support. Alongside the two Threads, partnerships can include:
Keynotes, speaking & panels
Conversations about learning science, literacy, professional learning, and curriculum for conferences, podcasts, and education gatherings.
Custom professional learning
Courses, slides, and facilitator guides that equip your staff to lead learning within your school or district.
Curriculum & implementation support
Review curriculum and connect instructional approaches across classrooms, subjects, and grade levels.
Instructional coaching
Individual or cohort support for teachers and instructional coaches as they apply and refine their practice.
