Let's work together to empower young people
"This workshop engaged every single teacher and staff member immediately. We were able to step outside of proscribed roles at our institution. This will allow us to see each other differently as we work together to support our students, and our community as a whole. Additionally, this workshop provided specific insights and strategies for engaging all of our students in new ways, so they can move beyond their expectations of themselves and each other. Will also was able to offer suggestions for using these tools in all kinds of classrooms, not just theater or English classes. I am using at least one of his activities on my first day of school this year, and am challenging myself to use others regularly throughout this school year. Highly recommend this program!"
So the short answer: we use the principles applied improvisation that our founder, Will Dennis, has curated over nearly a decade of work in schools, corporations, non-profits, and communities to help create learning environments were empowerment, student voice, engagement, and applicable learning are the norm.
Our methodology supports SEL, Growth Mindset, Design Thinking (UDL), experiential learning, and best practices in instruction.
Most schools are currently attempting to understand, incorporate, and regulate AI and it's role in education. Truly future-ready schools are making sure they balance that with human capabilities.
That's where we come in.

Explore
-
Explain
-
Evaluate
-
Elaborate
