Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum West Bloomfield Schools, Michigan
“We are in the process of designing a new middle school and really found your instructional design process to be outstanding. I wondered if it is possible to bring different members of the team to campus and spend a full day with designers from your school, learning from them and collaborating on our new vision for instruction.”
San Francisco Unified School District
“We are interested in seeing schools who are successfully implementing design-centered approaches to learning and spaces to enable us to take back “best practices” to our district.”
Educational Leadership & Societal Change Soka University of America
“Would it be possible to schedule a visit for the 14 graduate students in our program?”
North Fond du Lac School District, Wisconsin
“We fell in love with your school from afar through Edutopia. Now seeing the real deal firsthand, we are so convinced of your design approach. Although our population and vision is a bit different there are many lines to draw between the two. We were very impressed with your students first of all! Their obvious engagement in learning and their ability to verbalize what they were working on; giving the purpose and big ideas was impressive. Your staff is dedicated, prepared, and happy.”
