We are dedicated to providing high quality, sustainable professional development in Socratic Seminars, Student Engagement, and Critical Thinking.
Our Beliefs:
- Engaging students in authentic conversations about great ideas sparks wonder and curiosity and increases understanding.
- Meaningful and enduring learning begins and ends with close listening to the thoughts, ideas, and questions of students.
- Building a community of learners where students feel safe and comfortable as risk-takers increases student engagement and improves achievement.
- In this technological world, it is vital that students regularly engage in civil, thoughtful, face-to-face conversations.
