The Learner First is not a program or cookie-cutter solution. Our framework does not simply put a bandage on one or two parts of your district. We are committed to improving the health and effectiveness of the whole school system by putting the learner first.

No two districts are the same, and solutions need to be informed by all the stakeholders within the system. We empower teachers, community leaders, families, administrators and learners themselves to have a voice in their schools and districts. At the same time, we implement a proven student assessment system that finally allows teachers to deliver meaningful, personalized learning to every student.

When we came to the change team meeting I said, ‘I’ll be part of the change as long as I get to keep doing what I’m doing. And I am a pusher, I push the information you receive it. You don’t tell me, I’m telling you! You’re the student, I’m the teacher.’

Well that really wasn’t working. So I became a receiver. Now it’s push and pull, it’s give and take.
